Hi Abhinav,
which USRP are you using?
I'm pretty sure none of our devices supports a 2kS/s sampling rate -- it's just far too low to get directly interpolated to a "usable" DAC/ADC rate. Especially those USRPs that can be equipped with RF frontends (daughterboards) that can operate at near-baseband (400kHz) shouldn't be able to work at such low rates. So: which daughterboard are you using?
Hence, UHD should have told you that you can't use that sampling rate, and a higher sampling rate was automatically selected, inherently frequency-"stretching" the signal by the ratio of (actual rate/2kHz).
You should heed Sylvain's advice. Just oversample your signal by using an interpolating FIR filter to something that the USRP can happily work with.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi,I am transmitting using the flowgraph: vector src-> FIR interpolator (with RRC filter as below) -> MultiplyConst -> USRP Block
FIR filter - firdes.root_raised_cosine(32, samp_rate, sps, 0.55, int(11*sps*32)), withcenter freq= 400kHzsamp_rate= 1k
I am listening using other USRP withcenter freq= 400kHzsamp_rate= 2k
You can see the spectrogram at the receiver. I want to do narrowband(1 kHz) transmission hence I am keeping the sampling freq at transmitter at 1k.
While I increase the signal amplitude(using MultiplyConst block with slider), I see there is more and more spillage of energy in the neighboring frequencies!
Is there a way to remove that spillage from the transmitter and have a cleaner transmitter ?If not, how can I atleast mitigate it to the minimum ? is there something I can do with RRC filter parameter or any other way ?
In the figure: 1 - when amplitude is large; 2 - when amplitude is turned down
Thanks,Abhinav
