Hi Jonathon, That's an interesting idea. It hadn't occurred to me because I need to be able to sample both channels which limits the aggregate sample rate to 32 MSps as I understand. But its worth a try in the single channel mode for diagnostic purposes. Cheers, Chris Get Outlook for An

Just a data point. Here's a 256QAM constellation from an Ettus B210. I don't know what the exact EVM percentage is, but the constellation looks pretty good. This is at 429 MHz, 10.721074 Msps and 42.884296 MHz master clock rate with a commercial digital television demodulator evaluation board.

The B210 is telling you it's sample rate is off frequency. Setting RX Rate:  27648000.000 Sps... [INFO] [B200] Asking for clock rate 27.648000 MHz... [INFO] [B200] Actually got clock rate 27.648000 MHz. Actual RX Rate:  27648000.081 Sps... <- Is your receiver

Hi Chris, Have you tried offset tuning? For example, setting the master clock rate to 55.296e6, the sample rate to 27.648e6, and offset tuning by 14 MHz? Jonathon On Fri, Mar 26, 2021, 17:09 Beaudoin, Christopher J < christopher_beaud...@uml.edu> wrote: > So both should be synchronized (unless

So both should be synchronized (unless I'm missing something) because I'm externally referencing the B210 to the signal generator's 10 MHz reference. The EVM over a couple 1000 symbols is good but when one looks at the EVM over ~13e6 samples, it deteriorates dramatically. Looking at the rx wavef

I would suggest going back to basics. What does the RX spectrum look like compared to the TX spectrum? Are you doing clock recovery on the RX side, or assuming both sides are synchronized? Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 26, 2021, at 4:38 PM, Beaudoin, Christopher J > wrote: > >  > Hello Mar

Hello Marcus, Sorry for the terse nature of my previous message. To be more specific, the precise symbol rate is 4.608 MHz so the actual sample rate is 27.648 MHz; the USRP sets the master clock rate to 27.648 MHz when I command the sample rate. I'm not seeing any overruns a

Chris, I would say that your EVM is mainly affected by your SNR and your digital receiver implementation (AGC / filters / clock recovery / equalizer / ...). So without more details it’s going to be hard to say if what you are seeing is within limits. Cheers, Julian Arnold, M.Sc > Am 26.03.2

I'm capturing a 3 GHz QPSK signal with 5 MHz symbol rate by sampling the signal at 6 times the symbol rate. The B210 is externally referenced to a very clean 10 MHz reference. My measurements of the EVM sampling the signal for \~0.5 seconds are pretty poor \~30-40%. I can provide more setup deta

Thanks for sharing. I did have a full duplex single channel working. This started from a question of "can you run the exact same for a second channel so we can compare performance of different antennas". The simple approach I wanted for that was to just run two copies of the flowgraph. Based on
