Hi all,
I'm currently using a USRP N200 with a WBX daughterboard. We are using a
gnuradio design (with some custom blocks) to synchronize the LOs of
several
USRPs to the LO of a master USRP using over-the air-signals.
While the setup was working perfectly with our old USRP-2, I have some
problems for it to work with the USRP-N200. The LOs of the latter seems
to
sometimes randomly "jump" by several tens of Hz.
You may be seeing the result of the onboard TCXO performing adjustments.
Unfortunately, the adjustments are digital and not analog, so it can be
seen a small jump.
You might try set_clock_source("external"). I believe that you can
either apply an external 10 MHz reference, or allow the clock
synthesizer to free-run.
Nick can confirm this tomorrow.

we have the same problem as Francois Quitin.
the unstable LO give us some headaches with
our CFO algorithms.
would it be possible to change this vctcxo
and use another model ? we own 5 N210.
Salutations.

Hi Christophe,
Just saw youre having the same problem as I had earlier. I was able to
solve my problem by setting my clock source to external. The LO frequency
offset becomes an order of magnitude higher (around 10 kHz), but there are
no more random jumps in the LO clock offset, since the digital correction of
the clock is deactivated.
Hope this helps,
François
