I have seen the same issue in the last couple of days.
My setup:
Ubuntu 10.04 laptop
UHD + GNUradio 3.3
USRP2 with WBX
TX parameters:
15dB gain, 1090MHz center frequency
4MS/s transmission
RX parameters:
25dB gain, 1090MHz center frequency
4MS/s acquisition
transmitted signal:
U(t) = 10mV + 5mV * sin(2*pi*f*t)
f = 100 kHz
I observe unexpected sinusoidal oscillations in the amplitude at about
400kHz
Oscillation amplitude is on the order of 1mV.
