[USRP-users] very low TX power for burst transmission with B210

2021-03-04 Thread Johannes Demel via USRP-users
Hi all, I see some very odd behavior with a B210. I have this simple sine flowgraph attached. My RX and TX antennae are approximately 1m apart. I just send a sine and receive it with an acceptable power level. Though, my application uses burst transmission. Here, things start to fail. For so

Hi Jeff, I use burst mode all the time (mostly on N310 but X310 as well). I usually prefer a `packet_length` tag instead of SOB --> EOB. As Marcus mentioned, as soon as the first sample goes into the USRP sink, you start transmitting and need to sustain your sample rate. To ensure that you pr
