In FR2 mode, we need RF beamforming module to transmit signal in mmWave frequency range. **X310 USRPs** can be used with BasicTx daughtercard to transmit baseband signal at **Intermediate Frequncy(IF)** and then RF beamforming module would perform beamforming and the upconversion to FR2 frequencies. IF can be specified using `if_freq` in the RU section of gNB config.

PRS is primarily used for positioning and localization of the UE with multiple gNBs transmitting simultaneously. OAI PRS implementation supports multiple gNB transmission provided all the gNBs are tightely synchronized using GPSDO clock. Therefore before running this scenario, make sure the USRPs has built-in GPSDO and the GPS antennas are connected with good satellite visibility. Also every time a gNB is launched, wait until `GPS LOCKED` is printed on the terminal during gNB startup. If USRP fails to lock with GPSDO, try again until its locked.
