Maybe ramp up time for the transmitter? If you send 2.5us worth of 0's before your 1000 samples, do you see the appropriate number of pulse burst length? This method would be a compromise between the two methods you described. Does that work for you? Brian On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 6:19 PM Ryan

Hey All, I am trying to transmit a series of pulses with the X300 and am seeing some odd behavior. I want to transmit a set number of samples in a pulse, let's say 1000. At 200 MSPS (the tx rate in the radio core) I would expect this burst to last approximately 5us. Yet, when I receive the data, I
