Hi Bill,
I mentioned some problems with carrier offsets between different USRPs (or
daughterboards, for RFX non-MIMO boards) when you reported on DBPSK. I found
that error rate vastly improved when I factored the offset directly into the
frequency arguments of the benchmark_{rx,tx}.py programs.
Although the costas loop should be able to deal with carrier offsets, as long
as these stay in the allowed range, there is a bug in the mpsk receiver
block, which leads to bad performance for larger offsets. Can you try the
attached patch? (Lacking time to test it myself atm ...)
