Look on the board.  You want to cut the filter out of the path, but you 
don't want to cut the main signal path.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Re: Residual Frequency?

2008-04-18 Thread Wireless Monster
After doing some experiments I came out with another more important
problem...

Instead of my previous frequency that gave some residual, I tried the
integer frequency 926M, so I get:

Using TX d'board A: Flex 900 Tx MIMO B
r.baseband_freq = 930M
r.dxc_freq  = -4M
r.residual_freq = 0
r.inverted  = False

The issue is that on the spectrum analyzer I get the signal centered at 930
and not 926M.

Any clue why the r.dxc offsset is not working? I check the 'tune' function
and it should do...

Thanks!

[Discuss-gnuradio] Residual Frequency?

2008-04-18 Thread Wireless Monster
Hi All,

I am trying to send a GSM modulated signal using the USRP and the RFX900
board using the 'tune' function as in the provided usrp examples:

r = self.u.tune(self.subdev._which, self.subdev, target_freq)

The desired frequency is 925.6MHz, and I am getting a -381.47m
residual_frequency as shown below.

What will be the best way to correct that, so I get the signal modulated to
the desired frequency?

Thanks in advance to all for your help!

Using TX d'board A: Flex 900 Tx MIMO B
r.baseband_freq = 930M
r.dxc_freq  = -4.4M
r.residual_freq = -381.47m
r.inverted  = False

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GPS 20 ms accumulations

2008-04-18 Thread Gregory W Heckler
If you have data I could look at that would be great, but in my post I 
did not mention I am using a USRP I clocked externally with a signal 
generator. In your message you indicate that you were successful 
extending correlations to 20 ms when you used a better clock, which 
tells me I am screwing up somewhere.

[Discuss-gnuradio] phase difference between two real sinusoids

2008-04-18 Thread Morgan Redfield

Greetings,

I'm currently trying to find the phase difference between two real  
sinusoids. After looking through the archives of the mailing list, I  
found the following method:


src1_f=your first source of data
src2_f=your second source of data

hilbert_coeffs = gr.firdes.hilbert (27)
filter1 = gr.fir_filter_fcc(1, hilbert_coeffs)
filter2 = gr.fir_filter_fcc(1, hilbert_coeffs)
fg.connect(self.src1_f, self.filter1)
fg.connect(self.src2_f, self.filter2)

mult=gr.multiply_cc()
c2conj=gr.conjugate_cc()
c2arg=gr.complex_to_arg()

fg.connect(filter1,(mult,0))
fg.connect(filter2,c2conj,(mult,1))
fg.connect(mult,c2arg)

avg_alpha=0.01
avg=gr.single_pole_iir_filter_ff  (  avg_alpha )
fg.connect(c2arg,avg)

The problem with this method is that I'm starting out with two streams  
of floats. I'm using a hilbert filter to turn my signals into complex  
values, but when I do this my phase output is always in the range [0,  
180] instead of [-180,180]. The magnitude of the phase seems to be  
accurate. Does anyone know how I can get around this?


Thanks,

The filter affects both TX and RX, but not the auxiliary RX path (RX2).  
If you just want to receive, use the 2nd SMA port and make sure to set 
that in the software.  If you want to bypass the filter for transmit, 
you will need to put a cap of about 50 to 200 pF in the path, and cut 
the traces to the filter.

I know Eric likes to use oprofile:

You will definitely get a real sense as to what's eating up your
cycles, but it may be a bit too granular for most people.  I have
never used it, personally.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Best GR-friendly Linux distro ... Ubuntu won !

2008-04-18 Thread Pavol Duris

Hi all,

Currently is available version 3.1.2 in the Fedora testing repository.
Everyone can test it via cmd: yum -y install 
--enablerepo=updates-testing gnuradio usrp
and sumbit feedback here: 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-3118


Pavol Duris


Yay! Small correction:

GNU Radio is also available for F-8, but is currently only available
in the testing repository. Depending in the amount of feedback it
receives it will be moved to the stable repository within the next
week (faster if positive feedback is received).

You can easily submit feedback here:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-2771
