Hi all: This issue has been resolved. There was a bug in my design in a downstream block that creates packets. Thanks a lot for you help, Nimish On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 8:04 AM, Nimish Sane wrote: > @Dan: > We apply sync pulse only once. From the memo you have mentioned, this is > an acceptab

How about this: Send me a copy of the model and I'll do a sanity check :-) On 03/18/2013 08:04 AM, Nimish Sane wrote: @Dan: We apply sync pulse only once. From the memo you have mentioned, this is an acceptable mode. We do not apply resync pulses, and can also confirm that there is just one s

@Dan: We apply sync pulse only once. From the memo you have mentioned, this is an acceptable mode. We do not apply resync pulses, and can also confirm that there is just one sync pulse. @Dave: We have never seen such behavior in simulations. I am double checking though. @Ryan: Your observations a

Comments: -The FFT is probably fine. If it was broken, it would probably be 100% broken. At least this looks like a spectrum -It appears to me as if the broken section is exactly 1/8th of the spectrum. Did you hook up all of your outputs correctly? -What's up with the spikes in the spectrum?

hi nimish, this could be a sync pulse problem??? how often do you inject a sync pulse? did you check the re-order block in your fft to figure out the minimum period sync pulse that's allowed for that particular FFT? the casper memo on sync pulse generation has info on this. dan On Fri, Mar 15

Hi Glenn, Yes, that is the plan, but we have some issues using snap blocks independent of this. Hence, wanted to know if someone has seen such behavior before as we continue to probe as you have suggested. Thanks, Nimish On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 3:22 PM, G Jones wrote: > Hi Nimish, > My sugges

Hi Nimish, My suggestion is to add snapshot blocks triggered on the sync pulse directly after the FFT and after the blocks that follow it. You can then look at the signal at each stage and see at which stage that strange behavior is occurring. You can also add a "test vector generator" that puts in

Hi all: I am attaching a plot for Power of two inputs vs frequency channels. As can be seen, we have this persistent problem where some channels at the end just do not make any sense. We suspect that there is something going wrong in the FFT block. Has anybody seen such behavior before or can thin
