Hi Jason thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the code, it was generated mostly via Grc. I've cleaned it up, should make much more sense now: http://users.tpg.com.au/marcinw//qpskTest.py I've tried using the available DQPSK blocks as you suggested, but i get the same result. i.e with 108 as the

this would be similar to 802.11b's PHY at 1Mbps, except it uses the barker sequence as opposed to the sequence you mention. It spreads a BPSK signal using the barker sequence. You can take a look at the BBN 802.11b code in CGRAN to see how they implement this: https://www.cgran.org/browser/projec

Hi, If I want to transmit a signal which is DSSS spread using BPSK. Is it correct for me to first digitally spread the incoming data bits and then apply BPSK before sending it to the USRP or should I first convert the signal to BPSK and then multiply the output of the BPSK modulator with the PN seq

Earlier, I had asked if there was any combination of parameters to gr_oscope that would cause it to act like a strip-chart, with new samples entering (at a low rate) on one end, and the chart updated on every sample, with samples slowly working their way to the other end, and thence to oblivion.
