Re: [USRP-users] Transmitting data from 2 antennas of B210
Hi, I am happy to report that I was able to set up the 2-stream transmission actually without much trouble. I want to thank Michael Dickens and Ron Economos for offering valuable advice, without which I would never be able to get it done in a couple of days. I just used gnuradio-companion and connected two file sources to a usrp sink with two channels. The main changes I made to the usrp sink are: Stream channels: [0,1] Mb0: Subdev Spec: A:A A:B Num Channels: 2 Thanks, Zhenghao On Tue, Jul 23, 2019 at 4:07 PM Zhenghao Zhang wrote: > > Hi Michael, > > Thank you very much for your message.

Re: [USRP-users] Transmitting data from 2 antennas of B210
Hi Michael, Thank you very much for your message. As you said, I am just trying to get the equivalent of "tx_samples_from_file." I will just need to pushing half of the data in the file to each antenna. I will look into the cpp file you pointed me to. Over 10 years ago, I spent one summer on the first generation of USRP (I still have it in my office) and got MU-MIMO to work with 2 tx antennas and 2 single antenna receivers. Things have changed since and I have some catch up to do.

[USRP-users] Transmitting data from 2 antennas of B210
Hi, I have a very simple task: transmitting data with two antennas of B210. The data is just numbers in a file and I just need to play the file. I have been able to transmit data by one antenna with the command tx_samples_from_file. I did a lot of searching but I was not able to find a similar command to use two antennas. I am sorry if this question or some variations of it has been answered before. Any help is appreciated.
