Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me with this, as it's causing serious
problems with my research.
I have four USRP2s and I'm making use of the MATLAB/SIMULINK
Communications Blockset. I've been trying to run the transmission demo
using each of the USRP2s. Unfortunately I'm consistently picking up
intermodulation distortion on all four radios. At the bottom of the
e-mail, I've placed links to the spectrum analyzer graphs I've captured
from each of the radios.
In addition I thought it prudent to provide all other potentially
relevant information:
While I do realize that I could use a bandpass filter to isolate the
30kHz waveform, I believe this would then prevent me from using
frequency-based channel access schemes such as OFDMA. I am also aware
that I seem to have a frequency shift from my desired central frequency
of 2.45GHz - which is something that I am also unsure of how to fix.
Lastly, I need to be able to detect when a signal is received by one of
the USRP2s. I have read about various synchronization methods making use
of auto-correlation with known signals - does anyone know of a simple,
reliable method that can be easily implemented?
Any thought would be appreciated!!

In addition I thought it prudent to provide all other potentially
relevant information:
- USRP2 version 4
- XCVR2450 Daughterboard
- Firmware is as specified on the Mathworks website for the XCVR2450
(http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-CUN7JZ/index.html?product=CB&solution=1-CUN7JZ)
- Antennae used are the VERT2450 from Ettus (I've placed antennae on RF1
and RF2 - not sure if this is correct?)
- The waveform transmitted should be a 30kHz Real Sinusoid at 2.45GHz
- Simulation Gain was set at 10
- Interpolation was set at 512
While I do realize that I could use a bandpass filter to isolate the
30kHz waveform, I believe this would then prevent me from using
frequency-based channel access schemes such as OFDMA. I am also aware
