Hi Sylvain, Sorry for reviving a relatively old issue. I see that you mentioned some tweaking to be done on the fft block when the signal are weak. I'm currently working on an application using this RFNoc blocks and I'm having that problem: I'm calculating the power received at my radio and below some power level all my samples are mapped to zero. I'm migrating this power calculation from a previous GNURadio host implementation, and so far I haven't been able to determine where is that tweaking to be done. Needless to say that I'm new in the RFNoC part of SDR.
Would it be possible to elaborate a little bit more on the matter? Thank you in advance!
