A few more things:
1) You have both the receive and transmit portions assigned to TX/RX.
This only works if you run in half-duplex mode and stop streaming to the
USRP. This is not the case.
2) Note the difference between sample rate, symbol rate, and bit rate.
symbol_rate = sample_rate / samples_per_symbol
bit_rate = sample_rate/bits_per_symbol
I think there are issues with packing/unpacking of bits. The
requirements for packing and unpacking aren't completely consistent
across the mod/demods within GNU Radio. Let me experiment real quick
and get back to you.

Dear Marcus,
I truly appreciate your prompt reply. However, I am not sure what should I
put in the 'modulus' field of the block. By hit and trial, wrong outputs are
emerging. Please guide.
Best Regards,

us know how to achieve symbol synchronization.
Well, you're using DPSK, but not using a differential encoder on the TX
side, nor a differential decoder on the RX side.

Dear John,
Thank you for such a prompt reply. Okay, we will remove the throttle
blocks just now. But can you guide us how to achieve symbol
synchronization then?
Best Regards,
Huzaifa

You do not need to use throttles when using a UHD sink/source, because
the device provides timing for the flowgraph.
Remove the throttles and try again. If you still see the failure I'd
say you are not achieving symbol sync.

Dear all,
I am working with 3 people on a project involving GNU Radio and USRP1.
We have tried to implement a simple point to point digital
communication system in GRC involving DQPSK modulation. Using a vector
source we are sending a finite stream of zeros and ones (the vector
source has Repeat set to yes). On the receiver side, what we receive
is really very strange: The same stream of zeros and ones, but with
extra zeros in between our actual data. For example, we send three
ones and three zeros, but what we receive is a one followed by seven
zeros, another one followed by seven zeros, another one followed by
seven zeros, and then a zero followed by seven zeros e.t.c. We tried
to experiment more by using the 'KEEP 1 in N' block and the
'DECIMATING FIR FILTER', but things are not working out the way they
should.
I am also attaching a snapshot of the .grc file for your reference.
Please tell us the reason why these extra zeros are present between
our data bits, and the way to combat this effect (remember that the
decimating fir filter and keep 1 in N block are not showing the
desired output). Any kind of help is appreciated in advance.
