I self-generate out a chirp signal internally in USRP B210 and do a loopback to the receive port and then re-transmit out using another transmit port.
You will have to be very careful with this. Looping back the USRP output port back to the input port can blow the front end of the USRP receiver. Make sure that you use an external attenuator, not just a loopback cable. I would start with 30 dB.
Please tell the group more about your “transceiver": this is a broad statement, what are you trying to achieve? There are several different types of transceivers and the implementation will depend upon the application you have in mind.

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Underflow and Overflow Hi Alvin: Well, for one thing, you are trying to write USRP output samples to a file at 30 MB per second. That is likely to generate overflows. Your flowgraph indicates to me that you haven’t fully internalized how gnuradio works and how it interacts with whatever front-end hardware you are using. Don’t take this comment as overly critical, we all (myself included) started with only basic understanding, and had to build our skills from there. I suggest going to the gnuradio web site and following, as a start, the set of tutorials that have already been recommended by others on the list. They will help you as you start to climb the learning curve! Kevin

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] Underflow and Overflow Hi all, May I know what causes my flowgraph to have so many U’s and O’s, is there any block that causes this? I am trying to hit a higher sampling rate possibly 20 MHz or higher. I have searched online and some suggest switching to a different OS and I did switch from windows to Ubuntu, only a slight difference. Some say is the computer’s processing speed not fast enough, thus, changing a better one will help. Others did mentioned that the flowgraph connection might cause this problem. I am getting “OOOUOO” when transmit a sine wave sampling at 20 MHz and receive to a file sink. I am using USRP B210, running on a Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz x 8, 64 bit computer. Any help would be appreciated! <image001.png>
