Really? Or may be that was Abraham Lincoln?

Do you have any means of sounding the channel, e.g., via a preamble or known signal transmission? Other than the easy steps of looking at the demodulator outputs and general performance, you kind of need some way to measure the channel to know whether there is multipath present and how much. A preamble or test signal that transmits all four tones in a usable fashion (e.g., stepped, random, etc.) and then analyzes the output can be used to do that. Look at the output in the frequency domain to look for channel frequency selectivity and correlate the received signal against the transmitted signal to estimate the channel impulse response. Estimating the channel impulse response with a data sequence is best done with a PN or similar sequence that allows easy correlation analysis.

Maybe you do, maybe you don't, I have never purchased your products so I don't know. However. I cannot see the point in you being in this - a tutorial style ng if you are not prepared to help others. So either help people or fuck off!

Currently I don't have AGC in front of ADC, but I am keeping my signal low so that ADC doesn't start clipping. I applied AGC on my baseband signal, after digitization, before doing matched filtering for individual tones. I am using this AGC to keep signal level in a range for symbol timing synchronization. But Vlad says AGC is harmful in this setup, why? I would have asked him but searching on the group, I found that he never gave an answer that could be *useful* for anybody in the world . -- Mite

Yes Eric.

Yes, I can send the tones in controlled fashion (i.e I can send whatever data I want to). So, I need to send data sequence, lets say DATA1 and then I receive this and demodulate. If the data after demodulation is DATA2, then I have to correlate DATA1 and DATA2. What kind of correlation output indicates the affect and severity of multipaths? Mite
