Here "modified", I mean the data which enter into the FFT process are
different from the data if directly collected from usrp_rx_cfile.py. The
value of the remaining  data (after sync and CP removed) have been changed?
If that's true, How can I match the original data ( same data obtained from
usrp_rx_cfile.py but without CP and unsync'd data) to the FFT bins?

Thank you,
Bin
