How to use External LO on N310 device?

Wed, Oct 27, 2021 7:11 AM

I set the correct device arguments,but it doesn’t work correctly and also there is no error report.

I don’t what can I do next .

So I want to config this argument in mpm.conf file or usrp_hwd.conf file to try to use external LO .

I couldn’t find this file named "usrp-hwd.conf" in “/usr” .and also “mpm.conf”

谢谢,有任何问题请随时与我联系!

You absolutely shouldn't need to modify the MPM configuration to use external LO.

I don't happen to know off the top of my head, but it gets started as usrp-hwd by systemd.

Find /usr -name "usrp-hwd.conf"  when you're logged in to it should find it.

But, I must emphasize AGAIN.  To use external LO, you don't need to modify MPMs configuration at all.

You just need the correct device arguments when you're creating the USRP device within your application.

Does the N310 LO source will be changed to external when I complete these above steps ?

No, you don't have to reconfigure MPM.

But look at the table of device arguments--there's a 'rx_lo_source' argument that must be set to "external".  This is what Michael Dickens was
talking about in his reply to you yesterday.

If this still doesn't work, please share with us the pieces of code that you are using to set-up external LO ,so that we might spot any errors in that
code.

Have you tried successfully already?

Spend some time with the online documentation for the N310 here:

https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_usage

There are device arguments you must pass to get the external LO to work.

Again, modifying the MPM config file is NOT necessary to get external LO

What frequency are you trying to use?

Can you share the lines of code you use to set up the N310 for shared LO
operation--including the initial device "make" with device arguments, etc.

Forgot to mention earlier: at device initialization you have to supply the
external LO at 5 GHz,
as well as set the device argument as noted. Once the device is fully
initialized then you can
change the center frequency & the supplied LO must be 2x that. Hope this
helps! - MLD

Michael / Ettus,
This procedure really needs to be added to the documentation.  This is not
nearly the first time this happened.

Hi Marcus,

   I use a signal source output a tone at 5GHz .And I use N310 External LO mode,it received signal at 2.5GHz.

But I try to change LO Source to another frequency such as 4GHz. In this situation, the center frequency remain at 2.5GHz but not half of 4GHz.

I want to know what should I do when I try to change center frequency in External LO mode?

谢谢,有任何问题请随时与我联系!

Are you using external LO for TX or RX?

Perhaps you can share the code you're using to configure for external LO?

 Again, modifying the MPM config file is NOT necessary to get

 What frequency are you trying to use?

 Can you share the lines of code you use to set up the N310 for
 shared LO operation--including the initial device "make" with
 device arguments, etc.

I do not set TX or RX.This is my python code.Please give me some suggestions.

Thinks.

Hi Marcus,

   I use a signal source output a tone at 5GHz .And I use N310 External LO mode,it received signal at 2.5GHz.

But I try to change LO Source to another frequency such as 4GHz. In this situation, the center frequency remain at 2.5GHz but not half of 4GHz.

I want to know what should I do when I try to change center frequency in External LO mode?

Are you using external LO for TX or RX?

Perhaps you can share the code you're using to configure for external LO?

谢谢,有任何问题请随时与我联系!

Forgot to mention earlier: at device initialization you have to supply the external LO at 5 GHz,

as well as set the device argument as noted. Once the device is fully initialized then you can

change the center frequency & the supplied LO must be 2x that. Hope this helps! - MLD

Ah, you're using Gnu Radio.  I'll have to think about how to meet the
constraints of external-LO use when using Gnu Radio.

Has anyone else done this?

I searched the code for "rx_lo_source=external" and
"tx_lo_source=external", but didn't find anything related. It seems that
the device args should include these.
