Ok the problem was I set my decimation too high (256), even though on
the faq it says I can go [8, 256]. I tried it with 128 and it worked.
Yet I am able to receive packets generated by my own usrp (usrp
transmits and receives its own packet) correctly. Does performance of
dbpsk modulation decrease with increased decimation so that a packet
generated from another usrp some distance away has really bad
performance?
Under ideal conditions, the lower the bit rate, the better the
performance should be. However, real radios have a frequency offset.
When you lower the data rate (i.e. increase the decimation rate), the
same absolute frequency offset in Hz will look like a bigger and bigger
fraction of the signal bandwidth. If you lower the signal bandwidth
enough, the frequency error might put the signal completely out of the
receiver bandwidth.
The normal way to solve this is to add an algorithm that will scan the
receiver frequency in order to find signals. The gnuradio examples do
not do this. Thus, you will sometimes find that you get better
performance at higher data rates than you get with lower data rates.
