Hysteresis in the receive path is negligible and you won't saturate anything if the RX2 antenna is disconnected. So just leave RX2 unconnected. This statement assumes that you don't have a 1000 dB amplifier somewhere in the system. ; ) -John On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 5:42 PM, Miklos Maroti wrot

Miklos, I'm not sure if what you're saying is correct. Switch U3 may not switch to RX2 during tx in half-duplex operation. I would double check, but I don't think it matters either way. If this is a half-duplex application, you don't want to receive and transmit at the same time. So you should

Hi John, Thanks for the excellent suggestion! It seems to work reliably with 5ms buffering. I did not set the time of the FPGA, nor did I synchronized the FPGA with the host. I just used the received sample counter for all timings on the host to determine (the 5ms buffering) when to send the sampl

OK, I discovered what was the problem. it turns out I did not generate a carrier, but a just constant 0 (instead of constant 0.7) when generating a carrier, the Rx and Tx are perfectly synced sorry for all the trouble, and thanks for the help Guy On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 8:57 PM, Guy Holtzman wro

on the Rx side, I use uhd.tune_request(91500,10e6) then I down-sample and display a FFT the amount of down-sampling is enough that I can see how much frequency offset I get. I am testing it with a carrier generated from a second B100, using uhd.tune_request(91500) even if the reference had
