Transmission and Reception through MATLAB-LimeSDR interface

Projects LimeSDR
1

Hello everyone,
I am connecting TX1_1 of LimeSDR with RX1_L using the cable provided with the kit. Also i am using the MATLAB-LimeSDR interface (GitHub - jocover/Simulink-MATLAB-LimeSDR: Simulink blockset and MATLAB functions to interface with LimeSDR) to connect and use LimeSDR.

The following is the attached code to generate a sinusoidal waveform and transmit and receive back through the LimeSDR:

As you can see, the plots are not at all the same.

Can someone please tell me what i am missing?

Please look at my MATLAB code too.

Thanks a lot
