Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] DC Nonexistent Peak at Transmitter

[Ben Hilburn]

Sema -

Also, please be sure you run the calibrations provided by UHD. The TX DC Offset calibration addresses exactly what you are talking about.

Hi Sema,

You are most likely seeing the local oscillator at the centre due to the WBX being a direct conversion daughterboard:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-conversion_receiver

To remove this, you can put the following in the center frequency box of the UHD source/sink block in GRC:

uhd.tune_request(uhd_center_freq, rf_freq=(uhd_center_freq+uhd_lo_offset),rf_freq_policy=uhd.tune_request.POLICY_MANUAL)

The 'uhd_center_freq'  and 'uhd_lo_offset' need to be specified. Set 'uhd_lo_offset' to be something like ((samp_rate/2)*1.1).

Regards,

Mike

Hi all,

I am trying to create a complex cosine signal in 100kHz and transmit it with USRP in 110MHz using WBX daughterboard. I have observed this signal in an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer. It can be seen that there is a nonexistent peak at transmit frequency of USRP. I also added the related photos to be clear. 

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Sema
