[Discuss-gnuradio] TX/RX caliberation utilities provided in UHD

2014-04-21 Thread Gayathri Ramasubramanian
Hi I would be grateful if anyone could explain more about the TX/RX calibration utilities provided by UHD: uhd_cal_rx_iq_balance: uhd_cal_tx_dc_offset: uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance: a) I found them installed in one of the UHD directories. Not sure now, but wanted to know if the sa

[Discuss-gnuradio] TX characterisation of USRPN210 with SBX daughterboard

2014-03-23 Thread Gayathri Ramasubramanian
Hi, I am trying to characterize the TX and RX characteristics of USRPN210 with a SBX board. I have tried one test : Amplitude Variation effects, by varying the amplitude in steps and finding out the o/p power through spectrum analyser. The foll are the readings I got. Amplitude level 921.25 MHz
