LimeSDR | Sinewave test | Glitchy behavior

[Anish Mangal]

Hi,

To properly explain the issue I'm facing, I recorded a video showing Oscilloscope waveforms.

The gnuradio flowgraph is here:

The various versions of the software/hardware involved are the following.

gnuradio-companion: 3.8.2.0 (Python 3.6.9)

gr-limesdr: branch gr-3.8 (last commit 47511dd58de1695b70e1028366411bada85eb60f)

sdrangel: 4.12.1

OS: Linux Mint 19.1

CPU: Intel© Core™ i7-4900MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz × 4

RAM: 16GB

H/w: Thinkpad T440p

tl;dr

I'm trying a simple test to create a sinewave output from a WFM modulator block. If there is no audio input, its WFM modulated signal should be a simple sinewave. If I test this with SDRAngel, I see a clean-ish actual sinewave in time domain on the oscilloscope. But if I try to do the same with gnuradio, it seems to produce a glitchy signal.

Could I have any advice on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
