Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] translating the signal from baseband to RF

[Michael Ford]

I'll be able to borrow a spectrum analyzer next week, I just found out.
In the meantime, I know you pointed out that fsk_{rx,tx).py are
outdated. My followup question is - are every one of the individual
signal processing blocks obsolete as well? (simple_correlator,
bytes_to_syms, file_source, etc.)? I know the tuning function in that
code shouldn't be used.


Also(this is assuming that the correlator and framer blocks are okay to
use), do you have any idea as to what might be keeping the correlator
from picking up any data? When I set the center frequency and
bandwidth, the RSSI readings change accordingly, but nothing is ever
dropped into my filesink. I thought I might be undersampling on either
the receiver of sender sides.

You could do that, but that introduces the whole RX path into the
equation.  Until you understand what's going on, I suggest a trip to the lab ;)
