Think about this. The signal transmitted at USRP TX is [image: image.png] Then after transmission, received at USRP RX is [image: image.png]
Here, ignore the Doppler shift, and just consider the phase change due to the transmission distance, I know due to the wavelength, the phase received might be mod 2*pi, however, how can we get the received below in USRP? [image: image.png] Should we use analog signals to get the phase offset? or After ADC? Thx On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 5:21 PM Marcus D.
