If you want to see individual carriers, you have to use a high resolution FFT. Here's a 262144 point FFT on a DVB-T2 OFDM signal with a 1K FFT (853 active carriers). The carriers are spaced about 9 kHz. Stronger tones are pilots.

Hello sir

Thank you for your reply. Well, I am trying to do some additional operation to the receiver side of the OFDM transceiver (rx_OFDM). I am intending to detect a doppler shift in the received signal, for which I am trying to do an FFT over symbols collected in 1 second. To test the case, I tried to do a large FFT over 4 same OFDM symbols, which means a 4 x 64 FFT, which should give me 48 (corresponding to occupied tones) peaks instead of a band.

The theory of peaks can be illustrated simply by the FFT theory. I can share the reference for that if needed.

I hope I am clear here.

    Typically, you'd do 1 (I)FFT per OFDM symbol. I recommend having a
    look
    at the tx_ofdm.grc and rx_ofdm.grc examples, which show a full
    flow graph.
