Are you talking about the gain of the “RFNoC Rx Radio” block or a software gain 
block before the FFT? Even with the highest possible hardware gain it doesn’t 
seem to work.

Hello everyone,

I’m currently running into issues while trying to use the RFNoC FFT block in 
GNU Radio. A picture of my GNU Radio flowgraph and its QT GUI Vector Sink 
output are attached.
The configuration of UHD / my USRP should be correct as there are no problems 
when I stream the RFNoC RX Radio Data to my host and calculate the FFT on the 
host. However, when I try calculating the FFT on the FPGA, the output seems to 
make no sense. I can’t see a noise floor or any proper signals. There’s just a 
randomly appearing and disappearing DC spike. Other than that, the spectrum is 
just a flat line (see vector_sink.png).

I think that this problem comes from some faulty configuration of the RFNoC FFT 
block. Unfortuantely, I haven’t been able to find any helpful and up-to-date 
information about its usage online. I would be very glad to get some help from 
this mailing list.

Thank you and regards
Luca

You could try increasing the gain--it may be that due to the integer 
implementation of the FFT, the signal levels are dropping below
  the minimum quantization.
