Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Frequency Lock Times

[Derek Kozel]

Also if your frequency hopping is within the analog bandwidth of the radio you may be able to use DSP tuning, which has almost instantaneous reactions.

I was reading in a separate thread that soon to be released UHD code will allow lock times on the order of 0.8 ms. Does this mean the fastest we should expect to get a frequency hopping radio to work is at a hop rate of 1/0.008 = 125 Hz?

Thanks,

With that particular radio, yes.

That was for the B2xx series and E3xx series, which are based on the AD9361/AD9364 chips, which were never really designed for
  fast frequency-hopping applications.

The other RF cards, like WBX, SBX, CBX have faster PLL synthesizers, so faster hopping is possible, although there are host-to-radio
  transaction times to consider as well.
