Hello!


I have a quick question to ask, related to sampling rate and observed
frequency on the waterfall sink. I’ve been testing an antenna (connected to
an SDR dongle) with both GNU Radio and SDR#, and have noticed something
kind of odd. In SDR#, I can see some strong signals at ~125040 kHz (125 is
my LO frequency, so the actual signal is at 40 kHz). In GNU Radio, if I set
the sampling rate to 2M, everything matches up with the SDR# display, but
if I set it to a lower sampling rate, say 800k, the same strong signal
shows up at 125031 kHz. Why is that?



The reason I would like to know is that I want to use a smaller bandwidth
for this flowgraph, to increase S/N. Is there a way to decrease sampling
rate – and thus bandwidth – without distorting the placement of the
signals?



I’ve included my flowgraph, in case that would be of any use. Thanks so
much – have a good day!



Ellie



p.s. Hopefully this doesn’t post more than once – it wouldn’t deliver from
my other email address, so I sent it from this one.
