Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM Implementation

[waqasme]

Thanks Johnny yah that worked ..it is showing me different options for
OFDM... so for this particular benchmark_ofdm file the signal processing
blocks are displaying in GNU Radio companion or is there anything else i
have to do to make the block diagram of the system?  thank you so much for
your quick response and valuable information...
Really appriciate that johnny.
Thanks.
