Hello All,
So I have been running into some interesting issues lately with using
a USRP X310 as a signal generator. I have a UBX 40 Duaghterboard
installed in the USRP, and I have been testing sending signals at
varying frequencies. I have noticed that I can set the center
frequency of the USRP sink block up to about 1.3 GHz, and I can see
the sine wave being transmitted and received just fine (1 MHz
frequency and 4 MHz sampling rate sine wave), but setting the center
frequency any higher causes a loss in data (the spectrogram of the
signal looks pixelated and some of the pixels in the signal are much
lower that others). I know that the X310 supports up to 6 GHz signals,
and I know the PC I am running GNU Radio can handle generating the
signal IQ data, so I am at a loss for ideas as to what could be
causing the loss of signal data at frequencies greater than 1.3 GHz.
Any suggestions or ideas on what I am doing wrong and what I need to
change would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jerrid Plymale
How are you measuring the transmitted signal?
From the baseband standpoint, the flow-graph has no idea what the final
frequency is--that's all done in the analog hardware. So a 4MHz wide
baseband with a narrowband carrier at 1MHz looks the same in the
baseband domain regardless of the analog final "on air" frequency.
So, how are you measuring this? What is the exact setup?
