Hello, I am trying to implement a burst transmitter using GNU Radio Companion and an USRP N210 with WBX board. My problem is when inserting zeros as "gap" between the bursts the USRP is transmitting a non-neglectable carrier signal (due to DC offset I guess?). So I want to try inserting tx_sob an

carrier. Is this what you want, or are you just experimenting with the burst interface? 3) Is there a reason your burst pulses need to contain so few samples? Could you provide some information about what you're trying to do in your end application? Sean From: discuss-gnuradio-bounces+sean.nowlan=g

A couple of comments, maybe this helps you on your tracks: - You're using an ancient UHD version. Is there a reason you can't use a newer one? - In current GNU Radio, you can use 'length tags' to mark bursts, if that's any help. - You'll know if your USRP hasn't acknowledged tx_eob if you see 'U's
