Hello Issac:

USRP uses I-Q sampling (there are some exceptions, though). When I-Q sampling 
is used, the Nyquist bandwidth is equal to the sampling rate of the stream, not 
half of it. So, the theoretical bandwidth of your 25MS/s stream is 25 MHz, not 
12.5 MHz. See https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/IQ_Complex_Tutorial  and 
https://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/36927/bandwidth-with-complex-sampling 
for further information.

I don't know how Ettus Research came up with the 20 MHz figure. I guess they 
are talking about the filter characteristics. You may experience some aliasing 
issues at the edges of the spectrum, due to the filter characteristics.

Regards,
Kyeong Su Shin

제목: [USRP-users] Sampling rate and bandwidth - Usrp N210 & source block

Hello community

I'm Isaac. I'm dealing with some questions about the interpretation of sampling 
rate and bandwidth in a USRP source block.

What I understand is if I work with an USRP N210, my ADC works with a 100MS/s. 
If I use a Gigabit Ethernet and a data type of 16bits, I could receive in my 
host up to 25MS/s with a bandwidth of 20MHz. 
https://kb.ettus.com/About_USRP_Bandwidths_and_Sampling_Rates

My questions are:

1. If I can receive up to 25MS/s on my host, why my bandwidth is 20MHz? I think 
It is up to 12.5MHz according to Nyquist.

2. Why is the sample rate value in the usrp source block equal to the bandwidth 
I observe? I think this bandwidth should be the half according to Nyquist too.

I appreciate any help to clarify this concepts

Regards
Isaac T.
