[Discuss-gnuradio] Measuring phase between channels

2014-06-17 Thread David Miller
Hello, I want to measure the phase difference between three synchronised USRP channels (Common Ref PPS), does software exist to do this, and to what accuracy, please? Sorry, this is a bit of a newbie question, and probably already covered! Dave ___

Hi David, for starters, you could just divide one channel by the other and calculate the result's argument. There are blocks for both operations :) Short explanation: Just consider the complex signals $s_1, s_2$ in polar coordinates (instead of the usual real/imag representation) $s_1(t) =

I did an experiment similar to this a year or so ago. I synced all the USRPs to the same 10MHz and PPS. I had pretty good results using libgps to get the GPS time and then using UHD to start streaming on a particular PPS edge on all units. With LFRX boards this will ensure that the DDCs start at
