Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Viewing square wave in usrp_oscope

[sudhindra aithal kota]

Hi,
 I am still stuck with this problem.Can anyone please
tell me how to solve this?

Hi,
 Sorry for the previous mail. Totally out of context.

I gave a square wave input direct from a signal
generator and the behaviour of usrp_oscope was the
same as I had explained before. I increased the
frequency to way above 100KHz. Is there any other
option to be given?

Regards
Sudhindra

Yes.

If you are using the Basic Rx daughterboard as your
input, the RF
transformer on it acts as a high pass filter.  
Try using an input signal > 100kHz.  A megahetz would
be even better.

The Basic USRP has a 50 Ohm input impedance.  
Will your circuit drive 50 ohms?
