ad9371 ORX noise raised at frequency edges

Category: Hardware

<rxFirDecimation=1>
<rxDec5Decimation=5>
<enHighRejDec5=1>
<rhb1Decimation=1>

But the received orx signal has raised noise at frequency edge.

if i turn off the signal, the noise looks not flat,check the red curve in following figure.

I try some dec5 filter coefs, no big change. 

thanks

  • I have seen noise peaking like this before and it was due to noise aliasing.  If the BW of the decimating filter is slightly too wide, you tend to the see the higher frequency noise increase.  Hope this helps.

    This is a random response to the last post.  I haven't read the other posts.

  • Thanks for the info. I only use the Dec5 with fixed coefs in the ORX chain due to the high bandwidth requirement. Therefore I believe the noise shaping is caused by the DSM-ADC, which can be modified by orxADC profile. However I don't find any way to design the ADC profile
