Ok thanks. I will then generate a tone and see the amplitude and if any distortion on the received signal.

The qpsk signal should appear same in receiver as in transmitter and that will confirm if single channel is working fine. Attached is the flowgraph for qpsk signal generator. I have a doubt that “Random Source” block is not accepting any datatype other than “byte” else the connection is getting red and “USRP Sink” is not accepting anything other than “complex float”. In between is the “Constellation Modulator” block. The connections are showing compatible (please refer the attached flowgraph). Perhaps "Constellation Modulator" is sending out data as "complex float" to "USRP Sink" otherwise how can the two blocks be compatible? So can I expect usrp sink will get correct data and not deform the data out of “Constellation Modulator” to some incorrect data, since "Random Source" is sending "Byte" and "USRP Sink" is receiving "complex float"? Means is the flowgraph correct taking all datatypes into consideration? I am also attaching the grc files of transmitter and receiver. Regards, Koyel Neither of your attached .grc files have anything useful in them... When I said "check sanity of individual channels", I wasn't concerned with phase--only that they were grossly "sane". When you inject a signal in to them, do the resulting signals have the correct attributes? Is the SNR roughly correct, etc?

I very well know individual channel would show random phases but not the phase difference when same signal is injected in two channels. I hope you are aware that phase difference = 2pi/lambda* path_difference. Path difference is constant as that’s the difference between two paths of two daughterboards and hence this phase difference is constant. Remember same signal is injected so initial phases would be same for two channels and only the difference in the signal path lengths bring the difference which is constant Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> Yes, I fully understand that. I'm simply suggesting some simple diagnostics to determine whether, as individual channels, the receivers are working correctly. ________________________________ From: Marcus D.

If you observe an individual channel, is it "sane" ? That is, apparently on-frequency, and with correct amplitudes and low distortion? ________________________________ From: Koyel Das (Vehere) <koyel....@vehere.com><mailto:koyel....@vehere.com> Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2020 10:15:48 PM To: Marcus D.

I had given demo more than 30 times based on this principle and tested previously more than 50 times and I got correct result every time. Now only suddenly it started happening. The frequency is 2.4 GHz and bandwidth I tried from 1 MHz to 100 MHz. Previously the whole bandwidth was showing similar values but then suddenly started behaving abnormally giving near to correct result sometimes and sometimes junk.

Strength of the signal when we tried with maximum gain was near -40 dbm. Regards, Koyel To clarify some things. (A) The phase errors are just the initial phases--they don't wander around with respect to one another during a run? (B) What frequency range?

Something has gone wrong. Before we were getting constant phase difference across channels for limited bandwidth and with time when we split single antenna signal using splitter and fed two channels of USRP but now it is not doing so. This happened on Friday that after getting a series of correct results : constant phase difference across channels by feeding signal using splitter as mentioned above, we suddenly started to receive wrong data: random phase across channels and with time using the same setup with splitter. The thing we did was setting gain to near maximum and receiving 100 MHz sample rate. But I don't think amplifier has damaged because in this usrp we have four independent channels and when we connected the splitter to unused channels then also we got wrong data. What can go wrong that USRP is streaming data but phases are wrong? What do you think? Please let me know.
