If you're not using -d 4 you're not getting 16MHz worth of data, you're getting 8MHz worth of data, thus the +/- 4MHz. > > How wide is the signal that you want offset by 10MHz? > My signal is 20MHz wide and I do use '-d 4' when I use usrp_rx_cfile > command. (Mistakenly, I forgot to put it in mail). Phaysal, there's no way that you can fit a 20MHz wide signal down a 16MS/s complex channel. If you try to shift it up to 10MHz it's even worse. You best shot at getting the data is to put the center of the band of interest at DC in the complex baseband. That would give you +/- 8MHz of relevant data. You'd still be missing the outer 4 MHz (2MHz on each side), but given the USB bandwidth, that's the best you can do with the USRP.
