Synchronization of TX and RX Signals in BladeRF 2.0 xA9

Post by Deadshot »

I want to implement a FMCW or a pulsed radar using a SDR I tried using Pluto sdr but that does not have any synchronization mechanisms, I do have a BladeRF in my laboratory and I saw that in the API to control the bladeRF there is a bladerf_sync_config(), bladerf_sync_rx(), bladerf_sync_tx() functions. So, I wanted to know that if I use these functions in my code then will the TX and the RX signals be tine synchronized.

I have put up a similar question in the bladerf github issues.

on the same board, it can be time synchronized by using trigger functionality of bladerf. Making Tx channel master & Rx channel slave. When trigger is fired, sampling starts.

is there a sample code available to implement the functionality described by you. Because I am not familiar with the API for bladerf and I am in a bit of a hurry so can't waste much time figuring it out. The connection and the transmission part I can handle but the syncing I need help for that.
