Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Benchmark scripts

Hello Thomas H Kim:

I assume you have the two clocks synchronized. There is a 10 MHz reference clock input on the front of the USRP2. But on the USRP you need to get a soldering iron and modify the hardware a little (I think you need to remove a resistor, or something like that) to add a 10 MHz reference input.

You could also the use the 1 PPS input for your two USRPs.

Let me know if this helps.

All,

I am testing 2x USRP1 with RFX2400 daughter
cards with benchmark_rx and benchmark_tx scripts and have questions.

When I set the MCS to dbpsk, error rate
I got was close to zero.

When I set it to dqpsk, d8psk, error
rate is 100%.

When I set it to gmsk, certain daughter
cards had close to 0 error rate, but certain swung from 0% to 100%.

I asked about it to Ettus research,
they told me that it's likely to be due to frequency offset between the
two boxes I have.

If it is true,

1) how can I compensate the offset?

2) Has someone used dqpsk, d8psk in
2.4MHz ISM band before? If so, what extra step is necessary?

Thanks,

Thomas
