✨ uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance manual page, straight out of the User Commands section of the manual. this one is a whole vibe and she is lowkey doing real science, so grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance — generate a TX IQ Balance Calibration Table for a UHD Device. yes she's the girl who makes the table. the calibration table. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the Universal Software Radio Peripheral Hardware Drivers handle calibration info, right? that's their whole thing. and this app? this app reduces TX IQ imbalance within the specified frequency range using transmit leakage into the receive path. iconic behavior honestly.

💀 NOT ME FORGETTING TO WARN YOU: remove all external hardware from the RF antenna ports before using this application. like, all of it. everything. please. 🙈

also heads up: with default settings, this can take up to several minutes. so make a snack, put on a playlist, it's giving patient queen energy. ⏳

✨ NOTE: This application can only be used with the WBX, SBX, XCVR2450, and RFX daughterboards. if you don't have one of those, this is not the app for you, and that's okay. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --help — help message. she tells you how to use her. 🫶
  • --verbose — enable some verbose. give me the lore, bestie. 🗣️
  • --args arg — device address args [default = ""]
  • --tx_wave_freq arg (=507123) — transmit wave frequency in Hz
  • --tx_wave_ampl arg (=0.69999999999999996) — transmit wave amplitude in counts
  • --tx_gain arg — Tx gain in dB (will use default gain if unspecified)
  • --rx_offset arg (=934400) — RX LO offset from the TX LO in Hz
  • --freq_start arg — frequency start in Hz (will use beginning of frequency range if unspecified)
  • --freq_stop arg — frequency stop in Hz (will use end of frequency range if unspecified)
  • --freq_step arg (=7300000) — step size for LO sweep in Hz
  • --nsamps arg (=10000) — samples per data capture

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap, every flag accounted for 💜 this gorgeous thing is from UHD version 3.7.0, and yeah the page header and footer were giving <rainbow>uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance(1)</rainbow> energy the whole time — mwah, go calibrate something, you absolute main character. ✨🎀🦋
