Basically, if possible use the same LO, or lock the two LO's together. Going back to the original question: is locking the LOs for an RX card and a TX card on a USRP1 feasible? Thanks for your comments Vijay, you helped to add focus to my question. --Colby On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 4:31 PM, Vijay

Hi Colby, Even if the two boards have slightly different frequencies, this should not impact decoding of the receive signal as the received signal jumps between the I and Q channels (depending of course on the packet lengths and assuming that you have a packet decoder on I and Q separately). M

Hi All, In RFID applications, a reader receives (backscatter from RFID tag) and transmits (constant tone) at the same frequency. With commercial readers, a single LO will be shared by the RX and TX chain. However, in the USRP case, two separate daughter boards are used so different LOs are in use
