This example requires
-a USRP X440
-UHD 4.6 or higher
-matplotlib in Python installation
-the X4_1600 bitfile installed
Demonstrates dual rates on X440 at the example of the L-band by recording data into the replay
blocks at two given master clock rates and two different center frequencies and displays the
captured data in a pyplot. Since the X440 is a direct sampling device, Nyquist zones and their
boundaries are important to keep in mind. The converter rate determines the Nyquist zone
boundaries:
Nyquist boundaries = n * (converter rate / 2)
The master clock rate can be derived from the converter rate by dividing it by the decimation
factor 2, 4 or 8. It is equivalent to the bandwidth that can be captured on one channel.
The maximum bandwidth that can be achieved by the X440 is 2 GHz when using the maximum converter
rate of 4 GSps. Although from a bandwidth perspective this would be sufficient to cover the L-band,
this does not work because these 2 GHz are roughly between 0 and 2 GHz while the L-band is located
between 1 GHz and 2.4 GHz. To work around this, two different rates can be used in the X440. The
captured spectra of both can be stitched together. This example does this in a visual way only to
demonstrate the principle. In that way we are crossing Nyquist gaps in the two spectra, but
you should apply external filtering to avoid the aliasing images that will be visible otherwise.
Because the X4_1600 bitfile is used, only channel 0 of each radio is available and will be used.
By default this example will use master clock rates, converter rates and center frequencies to
cover the L-band. The parameters are:
-Master clock rate 0: 1024 MHz (converter rate: 4.096 GHz)
-Master clock rate 1: 1280 MHz (converter rate: 2.560 GHz)
-Center frequency 0: 0.9 GHz
-Center frequency 1: 2 GHz
With these settings, radio 0 will be able to capture the L-band between 0.39 GHz and 1.4 GHz in its
first Nyquist zone, and radio 1 will cover the range between 1.36 GHz and 2.64 GHz with its second
Nyquist zone.
