Hi Marcus, in the picture you see the power output of the signal generator is -30 dBm. Changing it to -90 dBm does not produce any change in the received signal except a (obvious) lower level. There is not other amplifier between signal generator output and N200 input. Luca -- Ing. Luca Pascal

Hi Luca, just to get a feeling > Changing the power of the input signal does not change anything. In your received signal, there seem to be high-power peaks. How large is the digital signal amplitude during these? Since the mirrored peak seems to be just a bit weaker, my suspicion still is too

Hi Martin, Marcus, I am using a N200 + WBX. Gain set on the USRP is equal to 5 dB. Changing the power of the input signal does not change anything. Moreover the output of the signal generator is sent (via a 2way power divider) to a spectrum analyzer and the input signal is ok. I made some other t

Could be intermodulation due to driving the RX amplifier into nonlinearity; Luca, what gain are you using? Can you further reduce it? Can you reduce the amplitude of your test signal? Best regards, Marcus On 10.08.2015 18:31, Martin Braun wrote: > My first thought was "IQ imbalance", but it's pre

My first thought was "IQ imbalance", but it's pretty strong. Which USRP and daughterboard do you have? M On 10.08.2015 09:24, Luca Pascale wrote: > Hi all, > > why when I use: > uhd::tune_request_t tr(tuningFreq); > USRP_DEVICE->set_rx_freq(tr); > > I get a spectrum that is "mirrored" around t

Hi all, why when I use: uhd::tune_request_t tr(tuningFreq); USRP_DEVICE->set_rx_freq(tr); I get a spectrum that is "mirrored" around the tuninFreq ? See: http://picpaste.com/sp-zJquS0qK.png with tuningFreq = 149.8 MHz, input signal at F = 150 MHz (from signal generator) If I use a LO offset diff
