[USRP-users] USRP E310 PPS Sync Input

2024-05-02 Thread Charbonneau, Ryan via USRP-users
Hello, I have a USRP E310 that I'm trying to synchronize to an external 1 PPS input. My goal is to trigger the SDR to begin receiving samples on the rising edge of the external PPS, so I'm using a pulse generator to generate a square wave with 5V amplitude and 25% duty cycle, 1 second period

Hi, i'm working on a custom block and have an issue with rfnoc rx streamer: my custom block outputs at quite low data rate and i found out that rx streamer doesn't send out anything until it receives (in my case) 16384 items. this is causing quite a lot of latency. is there any way to reduce this

Something to note regarding the TwinRX is that changing frequency on one channel has an effect on the other channel of the same card. I ran into this a few years ago and never found a resolution. My goal was to sweep with one channel and stare with the other. The staring channel had too many

Hongwei, In addition to the PLL that tracks the external 10MHz ref to produce the internal 10 MHz ref, there are the four PLLs that track the internal 10 MHz ref to produce the four LO signals (2Tx/2Rx) as you mentioned. But, the phase variation from the LO PLLs is much less - I don't really know

Hi Marcus, "OK, so what happens if you measure the phase-coherence just between channels on the same USRP?"As shown in the plot in my first email, the phase is pretty stable between channels in the same USRP.  " In the startup messages, UHD should put out some commentary about setting the

Thanks, Rob and Marcus. A single tone is repeatedly transmitted to make a continuous stream out of the Tx antenna. It is periodically sampled in Rx; the interval is about 1s. The sample time is aligned with the beginning of the transmitted signal to make sure we sample at the same time across
