When just using the RRC filter as a filter, like the Root Raised Cosine Block in your example, you want to define it like you normally would: interpolation: 4 gain: 4 (to account for the loss when interpolating) sample rate: samples_per_symbol symbol rate: 1 alpha: (whatever between 0 and 1; generally <= 0.5) num taps: ~45 Your use of nfilts in your email suggests you've pulled those ideas out of using the PFB resampler. That resampler block takes in a large prototype filter, which we define based on the number of filters in the PFB filterbank (32 is default and usually enough). Using this filterbank allows us to set an arbitrary real number of samples per symbol. Using just the interpolating FIR filter means we can only use integer values for this. Also, remember that using an RRC filter /will/ result in ISI. You have to use a secondary RRC filter to remove the ISI. In another posting of yours, I also saw that you used both an RRC decimating filter and the PFB clock sync, which implements this for us. You don't need both. Read the clock sync documentation closely: http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/classgr_1_1digital_1_1pfb__clock__sync__ccf.html Tom
