Hi,

I am working on an application to capture IEEE 802.15.4 traffic on multiple
channels simultaneously. (I will mention now that I am new to GNU Radio and
DSP.) I can successfully capture on one channel. I read the 2009 paper
"Multi-Channel IEEE 802.15.4 Packet Capture Using Software Defined Radio",
where L. Choong is able to capture traffic on four channels simultaneously
with four frequency translation and FIR filter blocks. I have tried this
approach with two channels but did not have success, most likely because
the parameters to my filters were incorrect.

This mailing list's archives pointed me to the polyphase channelization
block, which I think can simplify this task. Here is a link to a picture of
my flow graph:

I am tuning the USRP to halfway between channel 25 and 26 (whose
corresponding frequencies are shown in the picture). Each channel is 2MHz
wide, and the center of each channel is separated by 5 MHz. With this in
mind, I set the USRP's bandwidth to 7MHz, which would contain channels 25
and 26 (Is setting this parameter necessary? I would like to scale this
design up to four channels.)
The 'target_rate' is the width of a channel, so I am setting the frequency
cutoff to half of that, assuming the signal I want would be centered about
0 Hz. I set the transition window to less than half of the sample rate, on
the advice of this blog:

. However, no packets are making it to the sinks, when I transmit on either
channel from a separate radio. Does anything about this set up jump out as
incorrect? I would appreciate any tips you could offer.

Thanks,
Tom
