Hi guys,

Thanks in advance.

I am currently using Gnuradio 3.6. I want to use pilot to trace the  
phase  
offset in each ofdm symbol. However, I cannot see any pilot is added  
in  
ofdm benchmark example. Is there any example or project that has already  
implemented pilot to trace phase offset? If no, which block should I  
locate  
to do the least modification.

Appreciate your great help.

Best,  
Kay

There is a detailed explanation in the manual.

Thanks for you reply, Martin. But seem some blocks in GRC example is not  
compatible with the blocks in original benchmark ofdm example, I am  
supposed that I need major modification if I use it.
