Although using the same device to check on said carrier as is transmitting it leads to compounding error in one direction or t'other.
Best to use another device (preferrably a lab spectrum analyser) to check the offset. -Marcus On Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:56:30 -0500, Tom Rondeau wrote: > On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 11:35 AM, Florian Schlembach wrote: > >>> Are you seeing the 1 MHz offset when you use the uhd_siggen.py?

The fine correct makes sure that the subcarrier is centered in the bin; the coarse adjusts for an integer number of subcarriers off from the center frequency. By default, the OFDM receiver will correct for some number of subcarrier bins (it's either +/-5 or +/-10; I can't remember). If your radios have a frequency offset that is greater than the maximum number of subcarriers specified here, the receiver cannot receive the symbols correctly. > > Yes, you can transmit a tone using uhd_siggen.py to fine out a rough estimate of the frequency offset and adjust either the transmitter or receiver based on this number. > > Tom Links: ------ [1] mailto:florian.schlemb...@tu-ilmenau.de
