I want to introduce a time delay in a signal received through USRP…I
have used the ‘Delay’ block but it is not showing any delay…what is
the appropriate block to use??
Can i delay the phase instead? Are time and phase delay equal?

The delay block is in samples.

The delay block works in samples so to get seconds you have to multiply
the
sample rate by the number of seconds you want to be delayed by.

Well, not that I’m aware of.
However, FFT, multiplication with a signal source, IFFT is not really
hard
to do, and it’s what a time shift mathematically is.

A delay in samples is a delay in time:
1 sample == 1/sample-rate seconds of delay

To shift just the phase you can use the ‘Complex To Float’ block in GRC
which separates the stream into real and imaginary components. After
adding the delay block in line with the imaginary component you can then
recombine the stream by using the ‘Float To Complex’ block.

I am also using the delay block in the way u have mentioned but the
signal
in scope doesn’t act accordingly ,it remains in phase with the
original…

Also, a phase-shift is just a complex multiply by:
complex(cos(ang),sin(ang))
With angle in radians
That’s how I do manual phase correction in the interferometer support in
simple_ra

Careful… if you do that on a stream, you have to keep track of phases.
I know Marcus knows this – consider this a “don’t do this at home
unless you know what you’re doing”

That’s unlikely. Do this:
- Connect sig source into port 1 of your scope (e.g. create a sine
wave) - Connect same sig source to delay
- Connect delay to port 2 of your scope
- Choose a good delay that’s not multiples of your “wave length”
- Et voil, phase shift.
