Hi All -
I've been using the new UHD driver (003.004.002) stable release w/ XCVR boards on the USRP N200.
I'm using the xcvr as a transceiver - it receives a packet, then waits a while before sending a packet. However, I can see some spikes in the preamble detection stage which seemingly correspond to the time around which the packet is transmitted. I know XCVR is not full duplex, so I'm *guessing* it's some kind of LO leakage, perhaps?
On replacing the UHD driver with an old one (003.004.000), the issue seems to have disappeared.
Any ideas? Attached is a snapshot which shows the smaller spikes (corresponding to tx) next to the bigger ones (corresponds to the rx).
