Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Re: Residual Frequency?

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your help.

You are right 0.384Hz is nothing to worry about :) I misunderstood the 'm'

Regarding the frequency I finally found where the problem comes from:

After the gmsk modulation (blks2.gmsk_mod) I have to scale the value (for example by multiplying it by 8000) before sending it to the USRP to get the resulting signal centered at the right frequency. If don't do it the output signal is shifted... I assume some minimum signal level is needed in the FPGA blocks to work correctly.

Rgds,

If you use usrp_siggen.py does the signal end up where you expect?
If so, the problem's somewhere in your code.

I'm not very good at mind reading...
