I'm afraid you misunderstand, although probably I wasn't clear enough
and I must admit your pictures show the centre frequency - my apology.
At 2.4 GHz, a frequency offset of a couple of kHz is normal, i.e. you
don't need to sync your clocks if all you want to do is check if the
sine wave was transmitted. If you wanted to build a real communication
link, you would need a frequency sync at the receiver. This is something
you can read up on in any good book on wireless communications.
