[Discuss-gnuradio] DBSRX coherent problem (Phase Noise)

2010-11-12 Thread tom_wgs
Hi all I am trying to create a simple direction finding device using the Ettus USRP1 and 2 DBSRX receivers. However I am finding a large amount of phase noise between the two receivers. Even across a 128 sample collection I find over 60 degrees of phase change. Because the two receivers are

The second image shows the plot of the two real components of the same 128 samples. The phase shift is so large it is visible in the plot. I I noticed that the tuned frequency is about 12 kHz off target, but this is within the expected spec. of the system.

[Discuss-gnuradio] DBSRx capturing image spectrum

Hi, I am trying to capture a RFID Reader-Tag Conversation at 866.3MHz. I'm testing 2 cards: A FLEX 900 and a DBSRx rev2.2. With the FLEX900 i'm able to clearly see the Reader signals and the tag replies, but with the DBSRx the signals showed distorted by some higher frequency signals. Using

The no control response might mean the pause frames are messing up the control packets. Does this happen in a receive only application? One way to alleviate this would be to run the flow control branch and images. See the flow control branch on the UHD repo. and images are here:
