You may have a problem with peak power output and clipping/compression. GMSK is a constant envelope waveform meaning you have a 0dB PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). Because of this, you can run your PA (power amplifier) at full power and in a non-linear region and still get a great looking signal. QPSK (when filtered through an RRC FIR filter), has about a 3dB PAPR meaning the peaks of the signals are 3dB higher than your average power you're transmitting. Try backing off the amplitude significantly and see if it fixes your problem. Now, for future reference, you need to be a bit more specific with your queries to this mailing list. Describing EXACTLY what you are doing is usually pretty helpful. Links to web pages which contain code, graphs, and even a pictorial diagram of what exactly you are doing and what is failing is also helpful. If you wish to create new functionality and would require help or guidance - explaining what and why you are trying to do something is also helpful. There may possibly be code written or other people interested. Being verbose on this mailing list is extremely welcome and encouraged! What is NOT helpful is a 3 sentence e-mail describing a utility provided in software and absolutely no other information with regards to your physical setup. I only point this out to help you with getting your questions answered instead of having them go unanswered due to lack of information. There is a lot of experience and knowledge on this mailing list, but to tap into it you must know how to ask your questions. Good luck in finding your answers.
