The former requires a sampling rate of at least 20MHz, which the USRP cannot do. The latter requires 10MHz, which the USRP can do. This restriction on sampling frequency is due to the USB bandwidth. * At best the USRP can do -8MHz to 8MHz at baseband, or 16MHz sampling. Check out the pfb (polyphase filter banks) based blocks for dealing with multi-rate applications --Colby
