Hello,

I recently encountered an issue while using the QT GUI Frequency Sink in
GNU Radio, which caused incorrect frequency readings when the displayed
bandwidth was set to a value smaller than the sampling rate (\(fs\)).

My signal source was set to generate a cosine wave at 1000 Hz, with the
sampling rate 32k. The QT GUI Frequency Sink was configured with a
displayed bandwidth of samp_rate / 8 = 4 kHz. The frequency of the signal
was displayed incorrectly on the plot, showing around 120 Hz instead of the
expected 1 kHz.

After investigating, I think that this behavior was caused by how the QT
GUI Frequency Sink rescales and interprets the frequency axis when the
displayed bandwidth is set to a smaller range. When I increased the
bandwidth in the frequency sink to match the full samp_rate, the signal
frequency was displayed correctly. Is this a correct assessment and does it
work like that for you too?

Best regards,
