Hello,

Here is the flowgraph. I see the spurs on an HP8563E with RBW at 30Hz and span at 200Khz. I remember that it could be related to my spectrum analyser : I will investigate in that direction before. But if someone could make the test, it could be interesting. I use a N210 with LFTX and LFRX.

-70dBc could be nothing for digital transmission but in analog use case, as near as it is from the signal, -70dBc is not so good. For station closed to that TX, it will be heard especially in HF usage.

Best regards,

Fabien, F4CTZ.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. As I wrote, I try several sampling rate on the baseband I provide to the USRP without any effects on that spurs so it is not related to the sampling rate. I just put a signal source that feeds the USRP sink for that test.

It should be EMC related, as far as I understand reading all answer on that mailing list.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Fabien, F4CTZ.
Could you share the exact flow-graph you're using?

Also, a spur at -70dBc can usually be ignored in any practical system -- it's 10,000,000 times weaker than the carrier.
