Hi,

I'm doing OFDM TX/RX on a pair of USRPs N210 with SBX. Here is my device list:
USRP A, Antenna port: TX/RX
USRP B, Antenna port: TX/RX
USRP C, Antenna port: TX/RX

For A->C, A->B and C->B, it works fine. But, B->C, I can not decode the OFDM symbols. The antennas are placed roughly 50cm apart. On USRP B,I also tried using TX/RX port to transmit and RX2 port to receive and it worked fine. This doesn't make sense to me. What might be the possible reasons for the B->C failure? Please help! Thanks.

Best,
Weihan

Does a straight CW (continuous tone) transmission appear "correct" from B-->C ??

My guess is that your OFDM implementation doesn't have frequency-offset correction, or an algorithm that isn't sufficiently robust.

Also, check you gain settings--make sure the RX isn't being over-driven by the very-close antennae.

These are all very-basic debugging techniques when debugging RF systems, and until you have something "basic" working properly, debugging your
  system with something as complex as OFDM might not be the best approach.
