Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Info regarding replacing USB with Infiniband Optical Fiber

[Rohit Gupta]

Hi Martin,

The document that describes MIMO configuration below suggests how 64MHz clocks of two boards are synchronized. However, for coherent MIMO processing, the LO, which for 802.11b band is arnd 2.4GHz has to be synchronized. How does that happen??

Thanks,
Rohit

I just put the desciption of how to do MIMO (MultiUSRP) in the wiki.
see:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/MultiUsrp

or
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/Mimo
