Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] using USRP to get scattering parameters

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Yan,

With the same antenna: That is going to be impossible, because you can't
TX and RX on the same port with a USRP.
Also, the TX would be extremely loud and possibly even damage RX.

Calibration: Measure a known loopback channel (ie. a cable with an
attenuator that you've measured with a Network Analyzer), and calibrate
that way, or estimate loopback from your observation.

Best regards,
Marcus
