This is a very good point. Indeed my application is not in the same band as GPS. I'll spend some more time to familiarize myself with the B210! Stephan On Wed, 10 Oct 2018 at 09:02, Sylvain Munaut <246...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > As a backup, since the B210 has 2 RX chains, I can do my appl

Each B210 will have a GPSDO, they'll be separated by a few kilometers. My understanding is as follows: 1) When each B210 syncs, the 1PPS pulse between each USRP would be aligned to +-50 nsec. Since they're only separated by a few km, I suspect the alignment might be better because of common errors

[USRP-users] B210 distributed MIMO with GPSDO

2018-10-09 Thread Stephan Esterhuizen via USRP-users
Hi All, I'm looking at using multiple B210s synchronized with GPSDO distributed over a few kilometers. The idea is to measure time-of-arrival of a signal source. I understand the limitations of the GPSDO 1pps & 10 MHz reference frequency/time stability. What I'm curious about is whether anybody h
