are you changing the frequency on both the transmitter and receiver?
Because: mixing anything to a higher frequency is exactly that, a multiplication with a sinusoid.

Hello,
I am experiencing some weird behaviour with USRP blocks.
I have a PHY block that generates packets with "packet_len" tag. This stream is the input to a USRP sink block (the transmitter). Between packets, my PHY block does not produce anything, so the USRP assumes zeros until a new packet arrives with “packet_len” tag (I guess this is what we call 'burst mode'?). The USRP source (the receiver) receives the signal from the USRP sink as expected (with zeros between packets).
The problem arises when I change the center frequency from zero to something higher (I use LFTX/LFRX boards). Then, the received signal envelop is corrupted like it's multiplied by some cosine (see screenshot attached, all frames are supposed to have the same height).
When I don't use the packet_len feature of the USRP block or when my PHY block produces packets continuously, the received signal is okay.
Why does this happen? Is my methodology of not producing anything between packets is the right approach?
Thanks in advance,
Roee
