[Discuss-gnuradio] Frequency & time offset problem at low SNR region

2011-01-31 Thread Minsuk Kang
Dear all, I've been trying to implement a system that operates over a wide range of signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) (e.g. -5dB ~ 30dB). For the first step, I tried to measure bit-error-rate (BER) of QPSK at various SNRs. I used a pn sequence to implement channel compensation and accurately measure in

Hy Matt, I know the Nyquist theorem :-D , but here the problem is not as simple as that. The problem is that changing the interpolation, the bandwidth of the signal sent by USRP2 and displayed on spectrum analyzer does not change. Not only that, the displayed signal is not stable at all. I tried
