Hey all,

I am currently working on a project creating a BPSK modem through GNU radio
and I am having issues with the carrier tracking PLL block on my receive
side. At first I was getting a "beat" in my baseband signal, which is shown
here : http://i.imgur.com/vuaVUs5.png?1

I discovered that i need to set the min/max frequency within 0.1 Hz of the
carrier frequency with a loop bandwidth of ~100e-6 to get rid of the beat,
but even then it comes back occasionally. So basically this means that the
PLL cannot lock onto my exact carrier frequency for whatever reason. Has
anyone else had this issue with the PLL? I can tweak it during run time,
but I need it to be able to lock on by itself.

My other option would be to create my own PLL block. However, the PLL I
would like to use has feedback loops so I cannot create it in GRC. I have
looked into programming a block but my C++ skills are very sub-par. The
biggest issue being how to work with filters/feedback.

Thanks,

Tyler
