Hi people,
I want to know if you have any ideas the why of this behavior (see image). I am not sure it is the DC offset, or carrier leakage from the transmitter in ad9361 TX side. As the DC offset is set to auto I hoped it would have an envelope more or less constant. Could be a problem of sampling or of a "loose" harmonic, but I set the RF bandwidth to the minimum 28MHz and I had no perceptible change. The TX and RX sampling rates are also the same …. Any ideas?
The main parameters:
FDD,
Clock: use external clock (20 MHz)
Calibration mode: auto
RX/TX RF Bandwidth: 28MHz
RX/TX Sampling rate: 46.6 MHz
RX/TX LO Frequency: 1GHz
RX gain: AGC(slow)
TX attenuation:0
TX Side : send 256 QAM
RX Side :receive that
Cable between TX board 1 and RX board 2
Any ideas why the I/Q vary this way?
