Below is shown an Octoclock CDA-2990.  What is this threaded 6-to-15V power socket?

What would be a corresponding threaded connector used with that?

Hi,
I have a question regarding USRP calibration. I am using X310 and UHD 4.4.To save calibration time, the step size is set to be 5MHz and the freq range is [600MHz, 6GHz].My questions are:1. will the compensation be made at these discrete frequencies only, or interpolation will be applied to frequencies which are between the steps?2. how to compensate DC offset in case there is DSP freq?
Thanks,Hongwei

Interpolation is applied.

  1. how to compensate DC offset in case there is DSP freq?

The DC offset compensation is applied based on the analog frequency
setting of the RF PLL.  The DSP component
  is "perfect" from a offset and balance perspective.

Thanks for your quick response, Marcus.
On the 2nd question, I mean, when LO is different from the target RF freq, DSP will make up the difference. LO leak will become a spurious signal at DSP freq. Can this LO leak be compensated in USRP? if yes, how? 
Thanks.

If you move the LO leakage out of the passband of your application
sample rate, it won't be bothersome.

Thanks.

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for a response. But I have been hunting down a barrel connector for over a week.  I have searched all of digikey, mouser, and amazon.  I have already bought and received a barrel connector which I purchased from Ebay, and it was too wide for this socket.  I am currently buying various connectors with “long barrel”  versus “short barrel” and simply shooting in the dark now.

If anyone has any definitive datasheets on this with actual specifications, please let me know.

I'm trying to get part numbers.   From my own experience, I think it's
just basically a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel connector,
  with the added frill of the threaded locking arrangement.

The E310 uses a bayonet style locking barrel connector.  I have used Kycon KLDX-PA-0202-A-LT on the E310.  DigiKey has them in stock.

Thanks Marcus.I find that it is easier to choose target RF at which DSP freq is zero, then avoid DC in data allocation in baseband.
Anyway, what do "lowest offset" and "corrected " mean in the calibration file? some example lines as below. I am uinsg step size 1MHz.TX DC: 1020.000000 MHz: lowest offset -92.824059 dB, corrected 35.168568 dBTX DC: 1021.001221 MHz: lowest offset -90.716408 dB, corrected 32.376762 dBTX DC: 1022.002442 MHz: lowest offset -91.902306 dB, corrected 34.561279 dB
Kind regards,Hongwei
