Hi Ashraf, If you've configured the USRP source correctly, you're very likely actually displaying the spectrum your digital receiver sees -- depending on the signal, you could a) actually be rising the power level in that whole band, or b) maybe you're observing something like saturation and

It seems your per-packet payload is but 1; and it's quite probable the first packet gets lost in trying to synchronize, which would explain your loss. Best regards, Marcus On 22.07.2015 19:20, Jason Matusiak wrote: I have a BPSK modulator/demodulator simulator script (attached) that has me a

Based on the plot of resulting figures the firdes designed filter has more out of band rejection. It's a trade-off between number of taps and rejection. We're good enough (computationally) at doing fir filters that 20 extra taps 25dB of attenuation is worth it. -Nathan On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at

Hi Ashraf, I don't know what frequency f_squarewave your square wave has, but rectangular signals have sinc-shaped envelope, with peaks every f_squarewave. Having a sinc envelope especially means it exists over the whole nyquist band -- so that explains why you see your complete spectrum
