Marcus, I agree. Is there a way to tune the sideband suppression so that I can attenuate more of the mirrored signal? With the internal lo, everything seems to just work. Are there extra configuration steps that I need to take to adjust for the external lo? Thanks, Scott On Wed, Nov 2, 2022 at

Jim, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad it helped. Spurious phase noise tends to impair performance for our projects as well, though in that case just fixing the locking allowed me to move on. My current project has shifted my focus to E320s instead of N320s, but I'm very interested in followi

I ended up manually applying David's "patch" to UHD 4.1.0.5 (manually edited the files and rebuilt UHD). This did fix the issue with the N320's not locking based off of the limited tests I've performed so far. Thanks for pointing to that, David. However, I think there is still more not quite ri

David, that is great, I'll look into that. I'm working on updating to 4.3.0.0 right now, but I'll try your double tune solution first. If this has been solved, that will save me a lot of time poking around in the LMX code. Thanks, Jim From: David Raeman Sent: W

Hi Jim, I ran into what sounds like the same issue using N320s operating at nearly the same center frequency. I was able to isolate a fix (some tweaks in the LMX2592 configuration), and my PR was folded into UHD 4.2. I believe another, unrelated fix for N320 tuning was also committed in UHD 4.2

Hello, Thanks for the responses. Yes, I have the same issue with tones off center -- we initially noticed the issue with some wide-band modulated waveforms. I did just try another flowgraph with a tone at 100KHz off of DC and confirmed that the issue does still persist. I'll try to experiment
