Sorry, I was taking pictures of hardware and hence just took one for
the GRC too.  As I showed in previous picture, I am only using RX-B. I
am not sure how to connections will be for dual mode, but currently I
am just using one. I get complex values in the GRC and I can plot
complex FFT of them.

My sample rate is 400 KHz and my center frequency is 200 KHz.

I am dong I&Q sampling as shown in [1]. By real sampling, I suppose
you meant that I am taking  magnitude before feeding to the Spectrogram.

I am doing complex baseband as in the picture. My question was related
to the sampling. I thought doing sampling (complex baseband as shown
in GRC) in 250kHz at center frequency 125kHz is equavelent to doing
500kHz, with center frequency 0Hz  using LFRX. In 0 Hz case, I wasn't
able to make of the negative frequency (apart from the artifact that
they are in opposite direction, I read in books).
I think I am not clear in my understanding, so I wanted to ask someone
knowleagable.

Thank you for your time,
Abhinav
