Re: Understanding Pulsed signal Demodulation and decimation in GNU Radio

Hi Isaac,

I am not sure what you are trying to achive. However, your low pass
filter seems to be set up incorrectly. You have a signal with 1MHz and
10MHz samplerate. Your low-pass filter has a cutoff at 5MHz and then
down-samples by 100. If you want to make sure that there are no
frequency components aliased during the downsampling step, you should
have a cutoff of 100kHz or below. When you set the cutoff to 100k and
the transition width to 50k, you get a nice constant rect at the output.

Hope that helps.
Best,
Fabian
