Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UCLA_Zigbee_phy examples on E100

Hi Josh,

I tried the option 2) and 3), but didn't get the expected result. What I 
did was transmitting some packet data which had been modulated (O-QPSK 
method) from one E100 device, then observed the spectral property of the 
received data from the other E100 device. However, nothing "special" was 
shown on the spectrum diagram (provided by rx_ascii_art_dft.py or 
uhd_fft.py).

Then I returned to the basics - using the tx_waveforms (uhd example) to 
send out SINE wave, then observed the spectrum from the other device. I 
still used two methods: one is the live DFT by rx_ascii_art_dft.py, the 
other is first collecting data using the rx_samples_to_file and then 
reading the data into uhd_fft.py (replace the uhd source by file 
source). What I expected to see was two tones at 2415.8MHz and 2416.2MHz 
on the spectrum, but nothing showed up at these two frequencies.

The commands I used at each side are:

TX: # ./tx_waveforms --freq 2416000000 --ant TX/RX --wave-type SINE 
--wave-freq 200000 --rate 400000 --gain -10

RX: # ./rx_ascii_art_dft --freq 2416000000 --gain 50 --rate 800000 
--frame-rate 15 --ref-lvl -30 --dyn-rng 70

The devices I used are two E100, each with a RFX2400 daughter board. UHD 
image: 003.002.001.

I have spent quite a long time on this issue but got no luck. Could you 
please give me some tips?

Thanks in advance!

Terry
