Connecting NI-USRP 2932 to a oscilloscope

I am using SMA to BNC cable to connect my USRP TX1 to the oscilloscope. My output signal is not clear and distorted for some reason. Can anyone explain what can be the problem? Thanks in advance.

Impedance mismatch?

 

Scopes have a high impedance input and the USRP has a low (50 Ohm) impedance output.

Please set the input impedance of the scope to 50ohm (or use a termination), generate a CW tone at a tenth of the bandwidth of the scope and share the scope capture.
