Each B210 will have a GPSDO, they'll be separated by a few kilometers. My understanding is as follows: 1) When each B210 syncs, the 1PPS pulse between each USRP would be aligned to +-50 nsec. Since they're only separated by a few km, I suspect the alignment might be better because of common

[USRP-users] B210 distributed MIMO with GPSDO

2018-10-09 Thread Stephan Esterhuizen via USRP-users
Hi All, I'm looking at using multiple B210s synchronized with GPSDO distributed over a few kilometers. The idea is to measure time-of-arrival of a signal source. I understand the limitations of the GPSDO 1pps & 10 MHz reference frequency/time stability. What I'm curious about is whether anybody
