Sure, but phase is pretty arbitrary anyway, right?

No need for all the files.  Just instantiate all the components you
want to test in the same testbench.  Then you have one test which
tests everything.

As for writing testbenches, Google really is your friend - or the GNU
Radio repository - or any sort of other examples.

I don't mind answering your questions, but you should give yourself
some credit and give it a shot.

You're welcome.  Good luck.
