Dear Zealdeal, you should know how OFDM works: An OFDM symbol is nothing more than the IDFT of a vector of permutated, possibly padded symbols. No, for the sake of a simple example, assume your symbol vector is [1,1,1,...,1]; without doubt, you'll notice that the IDFT of that vector has an entry t

I'm bit confused here. You said "In the OFDM example, watch the amplitude of the signal before it enters the USRP sink. If it exceeds 1.0, I promise it will clip" I transmitted OFDM symbols, keeping transmission amplitude as 0.2 Then, on the collected log, I ran gr_plot_ofdm.py tool. It shows th

Ah well, in that case, the energy of only one increased subcarrier will, due to Parseval's Theorem, still be present in the time signal, but be split across all samples in the OFDM symbol (IDFT). Anyway, in a practical system you'd limit the power-per-subcarrier, so that no combination of subcarri

Is this clipping behaviour specific to uhd_siggen? Earlier I have tried to increase the amplitude of an OFDM subcarrier to more than 1.0 and saw linear increase in received amplitude. Clipping took place at quite a high amplitude. -- View this message in context: http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com

In uhd_siggen_gui tool, u cant set signal amplitude more than 1. Is there any reason behind this? I commented out the code where the limit checking is done. Then, when I increase the amplitude of the transmitted signal beyond 1, I dont see any change in amplitude of the recieved signal. What is th
