Jorge:
The paper you included and the mathematical and electrical phenomenon
you are talking about applies to the analog to digital converter, the
receiver only. This is undersampling as you call it. Most engineers
call it bandpass sampling. It applies to the use of aliasing to bring a
higher frequencies down low on receive. This cannot be done with all
analog to digital converters. It can be done with those analog to
digital converters that can "see" the high frequency. In order for them
to see the high frequency, their conversion time must be small compared
to the high frequency, and they must respond to the higher frequency.
You cannot do the reverse on transmit. It is a "one to many" problem.
The only way you can get a higher frequency is for some (BAD)
nonlinearity to be producing the higher frequency content.
My apologies, I wish my Spanish was good. I have included a Google
translation and I hope it helps rather than hurts:
"El papel usted incluido y el fenómeno matemático y eléctrico que usted
está hablando se aplica a convertidor a digital análogo, el receptor
solamente. Esto undersampling como usted lo llama. La mayoría de la
llamada de los ingenieros él muestreo bandpass. Se aplica al uso del
aliasing de traer frecuencias más altas abajo bajo en recibe. Esto no
se puede hacer con los convertidores a digitales todo análogos. Puede
ser hecha con esos los convertidores a digitales análogos que pueden
"ver" el de alta frecuencia. En la orden para que consideren el de alta
frecuencia, su tiempo de la conversión debe ser pequeño comparado al de
alta frecuencia, y deben responder a la frecuencia más alta. Usted no
puede hacer el revés encendido transmite. Es "el que esta' a muchos"
problema. La única manera que usted puede conseguir una frecuencia más
alta está para que un cierto nonlinearity (del MALO) produzca el
contenido de una frecuencia más alta.

If I run the fm_tx4.py, I TX in 29.3MHz and?? Which other
frecuencies??, Which one is the frecuency of the Sample Rate??
Please Help me, and sorry for my english

Band (88 to 108MHz) but I need to TX in this frecuencys.
Whe I submit my needs in the gnuradio discuss I get the next tip:
Another trick to get higher frequencies is to use an image that is
produced the DAC. If you program the DAC to 29.3 MHz, you'll also
get RF
at the SampleRate +/- DAC Freq. So you'll get a signal at 128 -
29.3 and
128 + 29.3. So in this case 98.7 and 157.3. The signal levels will be
lower, but with the proper bandpass filter and amplifier chain,
you can
generate a complete signal.
It really works. No sample rate change required.
If you have access to a spectrum analyzer, this is easily verified.
Richard Lyons' book "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" has a
very clear explanation of the phenomenon.
There are images produced each 64 MHz (sampling rate / 2). Every
other one of them has the spectrum inverted, but that won't matter for
FM. You might try googling for "Nyquist zone" or "bandpass sampling"
http://www.national.com/appinfo/adc/files/Undersampling.pdf
Note that broadcast FM is much wider-band than narrow-band FM.
Very similar, but putting together a wfm tx block would make sense.
If you just connect a wire to the SMA connector and the FM receiver is
close by you can probably hear it. For a real solution, you'll want
a bandpass filter and amp as described above.
