Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [USRP-users] WBX Lo leakage to LFRX

Yes I would really like to know not to guess, in that case I could probably be able to solve it. It is pretty like this: by disconnecting 10.7 MHz cable the spike disappeared so I said ok it doesn't come from inside USRP, but rather through coax cable. Since cable is shielded I assume it even goes

Hi, Try a 1/4 shorted stub at 434 MHz (at the antenna). Patrik (who said many times *not my fault* but usually is...) On Mon, 2013-12-16 at 16:26 +0100, Nemanja Savic wrote: > Hi, > > > i don't understand what can I do in this way with balun. Antenna is > matched very well I think, since I cop

Well, maybe I can use spectrum analyser with proper antenna, but what can I achieve with that. If I see peak, I still have a problem to attenuate it. On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 4:36 PM, Ralph A. Schmid, dk5ras wrote: > Take a handheld scanner or a UHF walkie talkie, tune it to the LO > frequency, u

Take a handheld scanner or a UHF walkie talkie, tune it to the LO frequency, use a paperclip or some similar 2cm piece of wire as antenna, and start sniffing with this improvised probe for the leakage. Ralph. From: USRP-users [mailto:usrp-users-boun...@lists.ettus.com] On Behalf Of Nem

Hi, i don't understand what can I do in this way with balun. Antenna is matched very well I think, since I copied reference design from TI. I am sure that spike comes from WBX LO because when I change center frequency the spike also shifts. I'll remind about the configuration again: USRP1 with WBX

Hi, Try finding ferrites for your frequency (11 MHz) and google on BalUn (balanced to unbalanced), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun You could also do it with COAX, impedance match using the Smith Chart, if your antenna impedance is known eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart Very usual i
