[Discuss-gnuradio] Fwd: time_recov and freq_recov in generic_mod_demod

[Adeel Anwar]

Ada,

>As I looked up from the documents, it was said that the signal after the usrp source at the receiver, is baseband signal, whose central >frequency is around 0 Hz, and already take off the carrier frequency. But in the demodulation, there are still freq_recov and time_recov block. >Are they at the symbol level?

Yes and  there is always a freq-difference between Tx and Rx LO due to this there will always be some freq-offset

>I'm quite confused with how the benchmark, actually the demodulation in generic_mod_demod.py works. When does the carrier frequency is >taken off?

In USRP. Timing recovery for compensating timing-offset, Freq-Recovery for freq-offset.
