Hi,
My USRP N200 / RFX 1800 combination seems to not receive any useful
signal. The software seems to work, there are no error messages, and the
USRP seems to sample noise but does not even show a signal from a signal
generator.
Has anybody an idea what I might be doing wrong, or what else I could try?
I use Ubuntu and installed/compiled the latest GNUradio / UHD software.
I used the uhd_fft.py script to test the radio. I tried different
frequencies, both antennas and different transmit power level on the
signal generator (-110dBm - -10dBm). The only thing I see is noise,
which changes slightly when I change the gain.
The command to start uhd_fft.py was:
uhd_fft.py -A RX2 -f 2G --samp-rate=16M
The output of uhd_usrp_probe is:
