it was a dumm problem from my side, I found out that the problem was there, that I had slightly different software version of gnuradio. After I matched the two side of computers, it works as almost expected.

With the 'benchmark_ofdm_tx.py' and 'benchmark_ofdm_rx.py', I receive the right packets using the command: $ ./benchmark_ofdm_tx.py -T A -f 2.45G -i 512 $ ./benchmark_ofdm_rx.py -R A -f 2.45G -d 256 But when I send the pre-saved file (which is saved from the 'benchmark_ofdm_tx.py'), the 'benchmark_ofdm_rx.py' does not detect any packet at the receiver side. Viewing the received signal with usrp_fft.py, I see the same spectrum, as from the 'benchmark_ofdm_tx.py' sent spectrum, though. I send it with the same frequency, with the same interpolation rate, and with the same gain value... ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Rondeau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Hoo-chang Shin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 5:03:14 PM Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Sending pre-saved OFDM file to USRP Hoo-chang Shin wrote: > Well, I did it like that, it did not work with connecting the file_source > direct to USRP. > I thought then it might work when I do the 'vector thing' in the middle. > In either case, the receiver USRP does not detect anything. > Have you tried to run usrp_fft.py at the receiver to make sure you see some energy? Also, have you just tried using benchmark_ofdm_tx.py on one side and benchmark_ofdm_rx.py on another? There are a lot of parameters to tweak. The amplitude is one important one (high enough to be seen at the receiver, low enough to avoid clipping), and the decim/interp values depend on the speed of your processor. FWIW, just saying the receiver isn't getting anything isn't too useful when asking for help with all of the possible issues.
