Hi Marcus,
Thank you very much for your reply. I have few doubts. Please clarify:
In the link that you sent there are total 8 sma ports for A slot and B slot
LO Sharing with Neighbour TwinRXs
TwinRX (A Slot) TwinRX (B Slot)
J1 LO2 Export J2 LO2 Input
J2 LO2 Input J1 LO2 Export
J3 LO1 Export J4 LO1 Input
J4 LO1 Input J3 LO1 Export
But in USRP 2955R only 4 ports are exposed out, so the configuration what is
given in your link is totally different than what is available in the back side
of 2955 R. Do you mean to open up the box and then the 8 ports will be visible?
We are using following commands on the software side:
usrp->set_rx_lo_freq(frequncy+(sampleRate/2),"LO1",2);
std::cout<<usrp->get_rx_lo_freq("LO1",2);
usrp->set_rx_lo_source("internal",usrp->ALL_LOS,2);
usrp->set_rx_lo_export_enabled(true,usrp->ALL_LOS,2);
usrp->set_rx_lo_freq(usrp->get_rx_lo_freq("LO1",2),"LO1",3);
usrp->set_rx_lo_source("companion",usrp->ALL_LOS,3);
usrp->set_rx_lo_freq(usrp->get_rx_lo_freq("LO1",2),"LO1",0);
usrp->set_rx_lo_source("external",usrp->ALL_LOS,0);
usrp->set_rx_lo_freq(usrp->get_rx_lo_freq("LO1",2),"LO1",1);
usrp->set_rx_lo_source("external",usrp->ALL_LOS,1);
Also you mentioned using "set_time_unknown_pps()" command so is this command
along with the above commands enough in the software side or some more commands
are there for LO sharing? If so what are those?

Subject: Re: [USRP-users] not getting phase coherence between channels

Hi,
I am using the given code for data receiving from two channels. I need to do LO
sharing for phase coherent application, which is done as shown in the code and
externally as shown in the image attached but I am not getting constant phase
difference.
We have connected one antenna to input of a power splitter and then connected
two output ports of the splitter to two ports of USRP. We are receiving signals
(say noise) from these two ports of USRP. We are dividing the whole chunk
(5*10^6 samples) of data into 5000 chunks each having 1000 continuous samples.
Then we are doing FFT of each of the chunk of 1000 samples and multiplying the
results from the two channels. Then averaging 1000 chunks of the multiplication
(cross-power) together so we are left with 5 averaged chunks each of 1000
samples of cross-power. The phase of the cross power is omega(td1-td2), where
omega is 2*pi*frequency and td1 is the time delay of channel1, td2:time delay
of channel2. so omega(td1-td2) is the phase difference. Since we are doing
averaging the noise effect should reduce to 0 and we should get phase
difference due to time delays due to internal circuitry. Now since frequencies
are in the range of 2.4*10^9 to 2.401*10^9 for 1 MHz bandwidth and td1-td2 is
also expected to be very small so omega(td1-td2) for this frequency range would
be almost identical, which is not happening.
In short I am not getting constant phase difference. I have also made
connections as shown in the attached figure. What is missing in the code below:
