Re: [USRP-users] TwinRX: +/-90 degree phase jumps between channels of different daughter-boards

Hi Kevin, I got inverted spectrum (that means sign of I or Q is changed) when I only set the frequency with use of timed commands. I described the ranges in the original post. We did measurements in 100-500MHz band. You can see phase difference between two TwinRXes here: https://imgur.com/4C09MSf

Pitor: We've seen a similar issue and have worked around it by just using a slightly different frequency. Can you post the frequencies that you're seeing it on? I think Ettus should be able to duplicate. I saw an issue with spectral inversion (I think I and Q are getting swapped somewhere) at 2

Hi, After disconnecting LO cables signal on the daughter-board that imports LOs disappears. So GNU Radio correctly configures distribution of LOs. Also the +/- 90 degree changes happen completely deterministically in given ranges of carrier frequencies. So the question remains open: what is causi

Hi, I don't know what this patch does, but there is not software required under certain circumstances. The reference clock is 200 MHz and there are a few PLLs which are used to generate your LOs. When the PLLs run in interger-N mode (which can be defined in the API, when explicitly setting the

Hi, yes, the result for multiple measurements (start ups of the system) at a single frequency was different by multiples of 90°. We did not investigated the problem any further, but I am quite sure that gnuradio was not synchronizing the channels using the LO-sharing, although it was selected.

Hi Piotr, we once had a very similar issue. But we also saw this on the same frequency when switching between frequencies. Can you try this as well? Just switch forth and back between two frequencies and just plot one of them? As far as I remember the issue was because we were not using the L

Hi all, I'm trying to do calibration of phase offsets between TwinRX channels. Configuration of X310 is following: two TwinRX'es, all sharing LOs from fist channel of the second TwinRX. The same signal is fed to all TwinRX channels through a RF splitter. What is expected is some additional grou
