The problem was traced to the RFX2400 board that we were using. We didn't realize that the RFX2400 was crossed with a black pen and it was marked 1200. As for the LFRX, the USRP_fft.py detects when the signal is generated by another USRP board. But I was trying to capture local AM station signa

Hey, In fact, the mapped complex symbol will go into two parts, that is, the real part and the image part will modulate the cos(w_c * t) and sin(w_c * t), separately. E.g., complex symbol is denoted, y = a+jb = r*cos(theta) + j*r*sin(theta); so, a*cos(w_c * t) - b*sin(w_c *t) = r*cos(theta)*cos(w

If you are using the USRP, it handles all the conversion to and from carrier frequency. The data going across the USB bus is generally complex baseband. You instruct the USRP what the carrier frequency should be: #Set freq if not(usrp.tune(self.usrp_out, 0, self.out_dcard, tx_freq)
