Try using:

http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio

On your Ubuntu platform.  It will build and install everything required
for a modern
  UHD-supporting Gnu Radio environment.

While I agree that documentation is sparse, the problems with your
flow-graph indicate to me
  problems at a conceptual level.  Have you looked at the GRC Tutorials?

www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/grc_*tutorial*1.pdf


Also:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Tutorials

And:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/HowToUse

And:


http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GNURadioCompanion

And:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/TutorialsWritePythonApplications


But if you don't really have a clear notion of what interpolation and
decimation are all about, none of
  the above will be of much help.  You need a basic introduction to
Digital Signal Processing, and
  going down the Gnu Radio path isn't a substitute for such background.

As of last night, the 'next' branch of GNU Radio (if you are using git) has the 
OFDM code and examples rewritten using UHD.

Your flow-graph appears to be badly confused about bandwidths and
interpolations and sample rates
  --an interpolation ratio on your USRP1 sink of 100e6 is almost
certainly *not* what you had in mind.

You probably need to learn more about all of that, and get some better
notions of how the OFDM
  modulator block works.  At the very least you'll need to
fractionally-interpolate the baseband
  up to some sample rather that *can* reasonably be further interpolated
by the USRP1 hardware.

Given how simple this graph currently is, I'd *strongly* suggest that
you upgrade your "world" to UHD,
  since your investment in the "old world" is still rather small.

hi Marcus,

I am attaching the screen shots and also block diagram of transmitter..
right now i am just trying to look for transmission of OFDM signal via
usrp1. As i mentioned earlier in the fft scope plot in gnu radio i see the
typical ofdm signal but on the other hand in usrp sink on the spectrum
analyser i saw only simple sine wave peak. please have a look and let me
know if there is something else do i need to do to generate the proper ofdm
signal on the spectrum analyser.

Please have a look and suggest me how to fix this problem in order to see
the proper ofdm signal on spectrum analyser as well?? Do i need and firm
ware update or sumthing on FPGA on usrp1 ???
Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks for your help.

If you're trying to embed images, it's not working, and the de-embedded 
ones on the bottom show only
  the spectrum of something typical of OFDM, and a spectrum-analyser 
output that looks like it was
  set up to sweep from 10Hz to 5GHz (is that what you had in mind?), 
which would produce only a sharp

  peak in the middle.

We still don't know what your flow-graph(s) look like.

Hi Marcus,

As i mentioned the flow graph signal blocks i have used in gnu radio
companion from that i am getting this out put on FFT sink in GNU radio
companion simulation flowgraph which is similar like this 






and i have used RF cable to connect from USRP1 TX board to the spectrum
analyser RF out put and i am getting the output like this






In spectrum analyser iam getting noise and only 1 peak in the middle which
does not look like ofdm signal.
I insert both the images above so you can have a look and please let me know
what could be the problem.
I have used 2.4GHz frequency and i am using USRP1 board . i hope the above
too diagrams help you to understand my problem.
