When I use gnuradio ofdm benchmark_tx.py and benchmark_rx.py at two USRPs to
perform an ofdm transceiver,
I have observed that sometimes, the BER boosts for a short while. Almost all
the bits are wrong at that moment.
After debugging, I've found that during that period of time, the correlation
function inside the digital_ofdm_frame_acquisition.cc
makes the variable d_coarse_freq to be -1. That is normal, of course, and I
have found that the value of -1 is correct after comparing
the odd positions and even positions.
But what is not normal is that, after the channel estimation, when we were
going to demodulate the real data, that means the next frame
after the preamble frame, the data shifts to the normal places, that means if
the d_coarse_freq is 0, that would be correct. But as
the d_coarse_freq is already set to be -1, every position shift one place, thus
almost every bit is wrong demodulated.
Can anybody give me some advice?
