Well, you haven't really provided enough information here. Assuming
that your "RF Tuner" consists of some sort of frequency conversion and
an LO, you should know that you will always have leakage between the LO
input into the mixer and the IF output. Perhaps that is what you are
seeing? Does your RF Tuner have any sort of filtering? If the spurious
signal is on the IF, amplifying it will also amplify the spurious products.

Hi Matt,
I have connected the RF tuner that provides (nominal) a gain of 30 dB.
So the chain is (SIGGEN)--->(TUNER)--->(USRP2).
The tuner itself introduces spurious signal (below -70dBm).
The output spectrum is:
a) without tuner (description is above the picture)

b) with tuner
http://imagebin.ca/view/KOYDSsHI.html
Do I need more amplification on the IF signal ?
Or does exist another way to obtain a clear spectrum with the injected
tone only ?
Is it possible that some spurious are due to the downconvertion process ?
Regards,
Luca
