I figured it out. The USRP input must have an input amplitude between 0 and 32767. When the amplitude was low the signal power was below noise so I couldn't see anything in the FFT. When I raised it to 2 I was able to see the peak around ( signal frequency +/- offset ). Marcus about your stat

I am using the 1st generation USRP with RFX2400 daughterboards each connected to the TX/RX interface. In the sine source block I am using a frequency of 100kHz. As the interpolation of USRP sink is 128 I am using a sampling frequency of 1Msps. On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Nick Foster wrote:

I am using GRC. I used a signal source block generating a complex sine at 100kHz. The USRP interpolation is 128 and the sampling rate of the sine generator is 1MHz. The USRP connected to another computer has USRP source configured at 64 decimation and is connected to an FFT block. I don't see any p
