4.) Do the PLL's on the daugherboard tune every time a C++ or Python
program
is run or every time the board is powered on? i.e. for phased arrays
will we
just need to calibrate every time the board is powered on or every
time we
take a given stream of data?
Every time you send the tune command. You should only send this when
you need to change frequency, not every time you start streaming.
I have a special case. I want to transmit and then receive and then
transmit using xcvr2450. Will the phase of the transmitter be the same
during the first and second transmit ? I am assuming I call tune once,
and then receive and transmit on the same frequency.
