Hi guys,
just for letting you know. No offset correction is needed. The problem was elsewhere in my implementation of 802.11. It was how I was calling the ifft function in the transmitter side. By putting the correct parameters, I obtained a perfect spectrum.
Regards

Ok, I was supposing that.
So in the python code of the receiver I've put:
tr=uhd.tune_request(self._freq,self._offset)
self.uhd_usrp_source_0.set_center_freq(tr)
where freq and offset are passed as parameters. In this way I got no error.
Now, the question is: which values are good for "offset"? Hz? KHz? MHz?
I've tried small values, like 50 Hz, but nothing changes.
Is there a way to find it?
I'm sorry, but really I have not idea
Thank you again for your support

I've tried to follow the suggested procedure. I guess the problem is inside the uhd driver I'm using (UHD_003.005.001), since the set_rx_freq() gives the following error:
AttributeError: 'uhd_usrp_source_sptr' object has no attribute 'set_rx_freq'
Or, maybe, the problem is the daughterboard, which is of type XCVR2450.
Is there another way to set dc offset?
Any hint will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm a computer scientist, so I'm not so aware of what DC-offset exactly means, but I'm going to try this tuning. I'll let you know if I solve the problem.
Best regards

Likely, if it's the central tones, you're looking at DC-offset (or the removal thereof) interfering.
You can use offset tuning in the hardware to slide the DC offset outside of your passband.on Oct 08, 2013, address@hidden <address@hidden> wrote:
Hi list,
I'm using gnuradio 3.6.0 together with USRPs N210 for implementing OFDM 802.11
n communications, just SISO for the moment (in the future it would be MIMO). I
have properly modified parameters such as FFT size, number of occupied tones
and so on. I have also included all preambles (STF, LTF...) and I have
accordingly modified the "correlate" and "calculate_equalizer" functions in
ofdm_frame_acquisition. FEC is also included in the chain. In the
ofdm_frame_sink file I've added a function that computes SNR in a per-carrier
basis.
Everything is working fine, I obtain about 80% of correct packets, but I've
noticed from the snr plotting, that the carriers around the central empty one
(3 subcarriers before and 3 subcarriers after) have very poor snr values. So
I've investigated about this effect, and I've realized that the all
transmission errors are in those subcarriers and, in most cases, FEC is able to
recover, but I would like to understand why this happens.
I conducted some searches in the web but unfortunately I didn't find an
answer.
Let me know if you need some other information about my implementation.
Thanks for your attention
francesca
