Additional notes on this issue: I have played with the taps in this Polyphase Clock Sync block using mpsk_stage3 file, and I found:
1. firdes.root_raised_cosine (samp_rate/sps, samp_rate, 1.0, 0.35, 11*4*nfilts) makes the output before synchronization freeze. Besides, the constellation graph after synchronization couldn't display anything. 2. firdes.root_raised_cosine (nfilts, nfilts, 1.0/float(sps), 0.35, 11*sps*nfilts), firdes.root_raised_cosine (nfilts, nfilts*sps, 1.0, 0.35, 11*sps*nfilts), and firdes.root_raised_cosine (nfilts, nfilts, 1.0, 0.35, 11*sps*nfilts) all work well with mpsk_stage3.grc ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnuradio/gr-tutorial/ master/examples/tutorial7/mpsk_stage4.grc). We all know "Polyphase Clock Sync" is the key block for synchronization in demodulation process. Could somebody give out some insight on how these RRC parameters (rrc_taps) should be chosen? Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________ I guess I may have a misunderstanding on the usage of firdes.root_raised_cosine (double gain, double sampling_freq, double symbol_rate, double alpha, int ntaps) function. In the flowgraph, the parameters are set up as follows: samp_rate = 32k; upsampling_rate (sps) = 4; # of pylyphase filter in Polyphase Clock Sync block nfilts = 32; ntaps = 11*4*32; If I set the gain as 1.0/float(sps) = 1.0/4.0, the rrc_taps for Polyphase Clock Sync should be (equation 1): firdes.root_raised_cosine (1.0/4.0, 32000, 32000/4, 0.35, 11*4*32). However, in the wiki example mpsk_stage4 ( https://raw.githubusercontent. com/gnuradio/gr-tutorial/master/examples/tutorial7/mpsk_stage4.grc) ), it is set up as (equation 2): firdes.root_raised_cosine(nfilts, nfilts, 1.0/float(sps), 0.35, 11*sps*nfilts), which works great for the mpsk_stage4.grc. Could somebody explain why this rrc_taps shouldn't be as in equation 1? Thank you.
