Hello!

I have done the fractional delay block ( http://pastebin.com/cEDfTh9m ).
Have you seen some error? I have used the proposed filter in "Closed Form
Variable Fractional Time Delay Using FFT" [1][2]
This is my flowgraph:



​
- My signal sample rate is 10230000 samples per second and I want a
variable delay of 1ns of precision. What is the relationship between the
maximum precision of fractional delay and the length of the FFT? What is
the limit?

- Is it a problem the fractional resampler of 1.023? Can it distort my
signal? [3]


Greetings,
Carlos Alberto Ruiz Naranjo.

[3] I use the fractional resampler because I can't put a sample rate of
10230000 in the USRP block.
