In GRC I have a complex sine source with amplitude 10 and frequency 2000Hz
sampled at 4000Hz as a input to the costas loop through a throttle block.
The max and min frequency used is +/- 0.157rad/sample which is 100Hz
/sample. When I see the output on scope and FFT scope i see peak at 0Hz in
the FFt scope but on the oscilloscope I see a sine wave with amplitude 10 on
the Inphase component and 0 in the Q component. Why?

The output is shown in the figure.
