the MIMO case, both receive frontends share the RX LO, and both transmit
frontends share the TX LO. Each LO is tunable between 50 MHz and 6 GHz.
+As there is a single LO for each direction (RX and TX), this means that both
+channels need to use the same LO frequency (i.e., both RX channels share an LO
+frequency, and both TX channels share an LO frequency). If the two channels
+are supposed to receive on different frequencies, the digital tune stages need
+to be used for that. The two frequencies will need to be within the currently
+selected master clock rate, and the final bandwidths need to be chosen
+carefully. Example: Assume the master clock rate is set to 50 MHz, and we want
+to receive at 400 MHz and 440 MHz. We can set the LO to 420 MHz, which will
+sample the spectrum from 395 MHz to 445 MHz. The LO offsets for both channels
+need to be 20 MHz and -20 MHz respectively. However, the final bandwidth should
+be less than 10 MHz (preferably lower), or the signals would exhibit aliasing.
+
+Because both channels share an LO, tuning one channel can possibly affect the
+other channel. It is advisable to read back the actual, current frequency from
+software before assuming the device is tuned to a specific frequency.
