Hi

It seems the more I read through the fpga code, the more confused I get.
There are a few things I'm unsure about:

In the fpga DDC, are I and Q samples being generated from complex samples?
The adc_interface module just seems to multiplex the same complex sample on
to 2 lines. It would seem then that if the CORDIC module can muliply the
sample with a sine and cosine at the carrier frequency, then I and Q samples
should be produced. However, many diagrams around label the lines as I and Q
before this stage, and it would seem then that I Q down conversion is done
in analogue on certain daughterboards. Are I and Q channels generated in the
daughterboards or in the DDC?


The ADC interface module takes care of demuxing the received signal into I
and Q signals. Then every pair of IQ is routed to a DDC.

From looking at the debug pin code, and the code for synchronizing two
USRP's, is it possible to receive a complex signal from a daughtboard and
also use it to listen for an external digital trigger signal that can be
used within the FPGA?



Also, from a response to another person's query, I noticed that Eric
mentioned that the basic daughtboards could not transmit or receive  any
signal lower than 100 kHz. Is there no way to receive a signal around 40
kHz? Perhaps with another daughtboard?


Try LFRX.
Also, you can take a look at the following  document
http://acert.ir.bbn.com/viewvc/gr-ucla/trunk/doc/usrp.pdf?revision=HEAD
it has an explanation of the different building blocks implemented in the
FPGA

Lance


Oussama.
