The B2XX bandwidth can be adjusted, but that is in addition to other
filters designed to remove aliases based on the sample rate.

Hi John,
My question is about USRP B210, can we use it to set RF bw as 50MHz and
then sample using 2MHz sampling rate?
Thanks

Hi Wahhab,
As Kyeong had already pointed out, in this configuration, the bw
limiting factor is the daughtercard. For the SBX the bandwidth is 40
MHz. There are other Ettus products covering the same frequency
range which have wider bandwidth (80,120,160 MHz) but they seem to
only plug into the X-series of products.

Dear Kyeong,
Thank you for the reply.
How about using USRP B210, do you think we can get aliasing by
setting the RF bw=50MHz and sample at 2MHz?
Thank you.

Hello Wahhab,
If I recall correctly, you can *not* change the bandwidth of SBX
(always 40MHz), and the sampling rate of the USRP2 (always
100MS/s). What you are actually setting by setting --rate 2e6 is
the decimation ratio. The signals will be always sampled at
100MS/s, and then decimated by the decimator within the FPGA.
It is still possible to cause aliasing - one way is to just
sample at a fast sampling rate and then decimate by yourself. An
other way would be tinkering the digital filters used by the
decimator, but I am not sure if there are good APIs to do that.
I am pretty sure that rx_samples_to_file is not suitable for the
task, though (correct me if I am wrong). That is just an example
program.

Kyeong Su Shin

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply.
We would like to create aliasing. This means that we should
set ADC to sample at speed less than Nyquist rate.
In our setting, we target RF front end to be 50MHz and ADC
speed is 2MHz.
The question is how to do it? We use some commands (as shown
in my previous email) but seems not working as expected,
i.e. RF front end bandwidth is still 2MHz.
Best,

Hi Wahhab,
This is a fairly basic issue – the ‘bandwidth’ (if that
is really what you are really meaning) is related to the
sample_rate by The Nyquist Frequency

*Subject:* [USRP-users] Enable aliasing using USRP
Dear All,
I have question about how to create aliasing using USRP.
Basically, I have USRP2 with SBX (with recent
installations of GnuRadio and UHD).
I would like to set the bandwidth of the RF front end to
50 MHz, and use 2MHz of sampling rate (ADC speed).
I am using the following command:
sudo ./rx_samples_to_file --args addr=192.168.10.2
master_clock_rate=50e6 --freq=2460e6 --bw=50e6 --rate
2e6 --gain=50 --wirefmt sc8 --nsamps 0
Problem: it seems to me that the system (GnuRadio/USRP)
observes only 2MHz of RF front end bandwdith. How do I
know this? Ans: I compare such settings with the
following settings:
sudo ./rx_samples_to_file --args addr=192.168.10.2
master_clock_rate=50e6 --freq=2460e6 --bw=50e6 --rate
50e6 --gain=50 --wirefmt sc8 --nsamps 0
The later setting seems to be actual 50 MHz of Rf front end.
Any comments and advices on how to create aliasing using
USRP are appreciate.
Best,
Wahhab
