Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM demodulation problem / example video

[Jens Elsner]

Bob, thanks for the reply.

This is exactly what I am doing:

[...]
    dem = data ./ data_l;
[...]

A point-wise division by the last OFDM symbol. This also restores
amplitude, but has the same effect on the phase.

I do not control the receiver, my data is from a radio station. I am
only trying to demodulate. I am synchronised in the 
frequency domain. Time domain synch is also appropriate.

I guess I'll just have to get new data to verify this. It seems just too
odd.
