Really appreciate your reply. The carrier frequency that I use is 6MHz.   I would like to try the preamplifier that you recommended. I got another problem which may clear the reason why I met this problem. I used a signal generator to produce a 6.01MHz sinusoid wave. After down conversion by 6MH

Hello, I am a senior student that also studying GNU Radio. I have found your post about generating signal and transmit on gnuradio mailing list (though it is written in 2007). I am wondering if you could give me some hints on generating signal and transmit using USRP? I am new to gnu radio and ha

Wav file is recorded from FT857 receiver connected directly to microphone input of PC. Thats why its 22050Hz. When I connect USRP2 source to the GRC receiver (bottom part of picture) I can receive FM broadcasting. If I connect this GRC receiver to GRC transmitter, it works perfectly too. Problem

Hi all, I'm in the process to migrate our software currently using the old libusrp2 to use the UHD. My daughter board of reference is the WBX. With the libusrp2 the gain range was [0, 31.5] while with UHD is [0, 38]. I have noticed that now with UHD is possible to set (apart the overall gain chain)
