    150 For this experiment we use static array management commands as shown below.
    151 First, start PAAM #1 (rfdev2-1) in TX mode with H-polarization using 4 antenna elements on IC 1, and configure the TX beamforming direction to be in the broadside (0,0). Check the current consumption on 2v7_1 and make sure IC1 has been successfully initialized (e.g., 2v7_1 has a current consumption of 1.026A in the example below).

     151First, start PAAM #1 (rfdev4-in1) in RX mode with V-polarization using 4 antenna elements on IC 0, and configure the RX beamforming direction to be in the broadside (0,0). Check the current consumption on 2v7_0 and make sure IC0 has been successfully initialized (e.g., 2v7_0 has a current consumption much higher than the other ICs).

    184 * [Terminal 2] Similarly, start PAAM #2 (rfdev2-2) in RX mode with H-polarization using 4 antenna elements on IC 2, and configure the RX beamforming direction to be in the broadside (0,0). Check the current consumption on 2v7_2 and make sure IC2 has been successfully initialized (e.g., 2v7_2 has a current consumption of 0.821A in the example below).
     184* Similarly, start PAAM #2 (rfdev4-in2) in TX mode with V-polarization using 16 antenna elements on all the ICs, and configure the TX beamforming direction to be in the broadside (0,0). Check the current consumption to make sure the ICs have been successfully initialized.

    221 * In the first terminal, start gnuradio companion and open the example experiment that established a single tone transmission:
     219* On srv1-lg1, start gnuradio companion and open the example experiment that establishes a single tone transmission:

    224222}}}
    225223
    226 * In gnuradio-companion, start gnuradio-companion, configure the USRP sink (TX) with sdr1-in2 ("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.2,addr=10.38.6.2") and the USRP source (RX) with sdr1-in1("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.1,addr=10.37.6.2"). Set the carrier frequency to 3GHz (3e9) and the subdev to be "B:1" (RF3) on both TX and RX. In this example flowgraph, the sampling rate and the tone frequency are set to be 2.5MHz (2.5e6) and 1MHz (1e6), respectively.
     224* For running the experiment on SB1, configure the USRP sink (TX) with sdr1-in2 ("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.2,addr=10.38.6.2") and the USRP source (RX) with sdr1-in1("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.1,addr=10.37.6.2"). For SB2, configure the USRP sink (TX) with sdr1-s1-lg1 ("mgmt_addr=10.116.2.1,addr=10.117.2.1") and the USRP source (RX) with sdr1-md1 ("mgmt_addr=10.116.3.1,addr=10.117.3.1"). Set the carrier frequency to 3GHz (3e9) and the subdev to be "B:1" (RF3) (For SB2, use "B:0", RF2) on both TX and RX. In this example flowgraph, the sampling rate and the tone frequency are set to be 2.5MHz (2.5e6) and 1MHz (1e6), respectively.

    230228==== Observe the results ====
    231 The left figure shows the frequency response of the received tone at 1MHz offset. Experiment can for example increase the link SNR by using more antenna elements (i.e., 8 for TX and 8 for RX) via the PAAM API, and the corresponding results are shown in the right figure.
