Hy everyone,

I have 2 USRP N210 with a daughterbourd RFX2400 and I pilot them with
Matlab. When I make a narrowband communication, I don't observe a flat
channel but I also observe the spectrum of a filter. I searched in
documentation but I did'nt see the characteristic of the baseband filter of
the system. What are the characteristic of this filter? Is it a RRC filter?

Thanks for your answer,
Marc

I am not familiar with the RFX2400, but judging from USRP daughterboards
that I do know well, they have an analog anti-aliasing filter (or filters)
between the mixer and the ADC. The bandwidth of the filter is specified on
the schematics of the daughterboard, at least for the WBX. The FPGA will do
further digital filtering based on the sampling rate.

Subject: [USRP-users] USRP time with GPSDO
Message-ID:

We have 2 N200's with GPSDOs, connected to different Linux computers. We
discovered that their times (the metadata time stamps) differ by 2 or 3
seconds.

We eventually traced that to differences in the clocks of the two linux
boxes (one was not running ntpd). However, I am still puzzled by the fact
that the USRP time came from the computer's time and not from the GPSDO
time.

Is that behavior (getting the time from the computer even if a GPSDO is
intalled) normal?

Subject: [USRP-users] Still problems with USRP time from GPSDO

I think that my previous message was wrong, but I still have problems with
the GPSDO times from the USRP. Here is a printout from a UHD program that
queries the time in 4 different ways:

usrp->get_time_now(): 1367237083:0.517574
usrp->get_time_last_pps():  1367237082:1.000000
metadata time stamp of recent RX samples:   1367237083:0.510384
utime() on Linux:   1367237084:0.517167

As you can see there is a difference of a whole second between the time on
the PC, which is derived from NTP using ntpd and should be accurate to at
least 10ms or so, and the times on the USRP.

The USRP is an N200 with a GPSDO fitted.

We've experienced errors by whole seconds in two different units. Is this a
bug in the firmware or image?

Thanks, Sivan

If you choose an odd decimation ratio, you will have rolloff due to the CIC
filters.  You need to choose an even decimation ratio to get a flat
passband.
