Hi,

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience... Reading the warning prompt, it 
is specifically pointed out that the bandwidth requires an even ratio.... 
Setting it to, e.g., masterClockRate/4 does not cause a "hump".... Once again, 
I apologize for stealing your time.

Kind regards,
Tobias

thanks for your prompt reply! Indeed, my description was lacking a bit of 
details.

In short:
- We transmit with 50MHz sample rate and 400MHZ analog bandwidth (according to 
RF config setup)
- We generate a signal that consists of sections with pure (complex) tones of 
different frequencies with constant amplitude, ranging from -25MHz to +25MHz 
frequency in baseband (-25, -19.5, -14, -8, -3, 3, 8, 14, 19.5, 25).
- We receive the signal on the same USRP and plot the time domain of the TX and 
RX signal. (first figure row)
- As visible, already the 8MHz tone is attenuated by around 3dB compared to the 
center frequency. Higher frequencies are more attenuated. This is also visible 
in the spectrogramm.

We know and expect that the passband of the X410 is not totally flat. However, 
we do not expect the passband to be as severely shaped as we measured. We know 
we cannot expect the edges to be not attenuated, but actually we would have 
expected at least say -20..20MHz to be relatively flat (for 50MHz sampling 
rate). Hence we wonder:

- if the problem can be reproduced on your (or other's side)?
- if the seen behaviour is correct and more flatness cannot be expected?

Thank you.

I updated the plot as well.

How are you connecting your TX and RX?  Antenna or direct-wired?  If 
direct-wired, make sure that your cable has at least 30dB of attenuation in it 
and that your TX
  power levels aren't producing more than about 0dBm at the output.

With a master clock rate of 250MHz, 50Mhz delivered bandwidth requires an odd 
decimation rate.  This has historically caused a passband response with a 
half-band
  "shape" that is like a "hump" as you describe.  I don't know whether this 
applies to X410 or not.

It REALLY would be helpful for you to plot the RX response using a normal FFT 
plot--with the gain turned up and a terminator on the RX input, you should be 
able to see
  the instrumental response of the device.    The "uhd_fft" example code with 
Gnu Radio produces nice plots for this sort of thing.
