Discussion and technical support related to USRP, UHD, RFNoC
View all threadsHi,
I have a TDMA flowgraph that defines packets using tx_time and tx_sob + tx_eob. Packets are sent to a B200mini every 10 ms (which is not important). Below I have the packet format from GRC followed by 3 oscilloscope captures that show the effect I’m seeing.
The B200mini is connected to an Octoclock 1 PPS reference.
The modulation is BPSK, 2x oversampled, RRC.
Image 1 - the GRC waveform that is input to the USRP sink
Image 2 - this time the transmitted signal looks pretty good. Note the leading zeros so that the transmit power rises to full before samples are applied.
Image 3 - it appears that some form of slow modulation has been applied
Image 4 - same again, but obviously at a different offset
(oops, forgot to turn off stupid network config menu in scope caps)
I am a bit stumped. A “theory” is that maybe I’m seeing a window of some kind being convolved with the signal.
