Hello,

I increased the amplitude to around 3000 on the tx usrp. I also ran the
usrp_fft.py on the rx side. I could observe the spectrum of the rx
signal
which was around 30 dB. So I know that the rx side usrp is able to
receive
the packets trasnmitted. However, now when I run the
benchmark_ofdm_rx.py
script on the rx side, I do not see any output. The output that I get is

After rx_callback( ) definition

gr_fir_ccf: using SSE
gr_fir_fff: using SSE

Only one packet is received after a long time. Could you suggest as
to
why the output is not displayed?

Try decreasing the bandwidth by increasing the interpolation and
decimation rates (and make sure the decimation is half the interpolation
value you use). The OFDM system takes quite a lot of resources right now
to run, so slowing things down may help.

Unfortunately, the output you’ve displayed there isn’t really showing
anything wrong except you’re not getting any packets. There’s little to
go on to help you debug it. Try to run in verbose mode (-v), which will
output all of the settings of the (de)modulator.
