You were probably operating on a different frequency than you've thought!
By viewing the pictures in the attachment and your explanation, f_ RF
is LO frequency? Then the two channels share one LO, so setting f_
Offset adjusts the frequency to f_ target?
Exactly!
I tried the following:
freq1= 2.4G
freq2= 2.39G
lo_off1= 5M
lo_off2= -5M
samp_rate=300K
But the problem still exists, and the bit error rate is very high : (
well, there might be many reasons for that; one might be that the
sampling rate of 300 kHz is very low for the USRP, so filtering might be
suboptimal.
Another thing I forgot to say is that I did a dual channel
transmission experiment before (I call it experiment A. ), and the
parameter settings are the same as when I first set them（freq1 = 2.4G,
freq2=2.39G, lo_off1=2M, lo_off2=-2M,samp_rate=300k）,which performs
very well.
But you cannot have been operating on the frequencies you thought you
were using, so that success is a bit meaningless?

The only difference between experiment A and this experiment now is
that the modulation of the signals on the RFA and RFB of experiment A
are different. I copied the USRP sink and USRP source components
directly from the GRC of experiment A, and the parameter settings are
the same, experiment A performed very well, but in this experiment a
high BER occurred, so now I am confused where the problem lies
Best regards！

Sorry, typo, hit ctrl-enter to send accidentally when trying to fix
it. Let me say it
correctly:
Re: ① But you receive packets! So that's a good thing, I guess?
Re: ② So, maybe the attached figure helps. The offset is the
difference between the
physical LO frequency f_{RF}, and the center frequency of what becomes
your baseband.
So, I incorrectly said "the offsets need to add up to 10 MHz"; correct
would be to say that
freq1-offset1 = freq2-offset2.
Now, since freq2 = freq1 - 10 MHz follows
freq1-offset1 = freq1 - 10 MHz - offset2
10 MHz = offset1 - offset2
Note that offsets can be negative.
Best regards,
Marcus
