Thank you! What i am trying to do is very simple: I don't use USRP, i just used 
a vector as a bit source and have it modulated and transmitted through a noise 
channel (on my laptop ^.^ ). Now i can set the value of noise's amplitude, but 
there seems to be no way to determine the bit energy! How to get it?  Thank 
you!!!

Bill

If you look through the relevant emails on the list, it seems no one  
really understands the translation between the short values from the  
USRP and absolute energy --- ADC and processing behavior complicate  
the issue. However, it is much easier to estimate the ratio of Signal  
to Noise --- this is a relative quantity. Just figure out receiver  
power in the absence of a signal and in the presence of one...
