Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] I hate Unity

2011-10-18 Thread Paul M. Bendixen
I have had no problems installing Gnu Radio under Kubuntu.
If you already have a potent machine, try that. It gives the added bonus of
being much prettier than Gnome ;)

 N.B.: What follows is obviously all opinion:

 I can't stand Unity, and the default settings for Gnome 3 drove me nuts.

 If you are willing to put the effort in, you can install a bunch of
 extensions that will make it at least approach the usability of Gnome 2.

 I recommend:
 http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/gnome32.html
 http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html

 After installing, restart Gnome, and then use the 'Advanced Settings' menu
 (which is actually a shortcut to the tool Bob mentioned, gnome-tweak-tool)
 to enable the extensions you want.

 I was able to almost achieve what I had in Gnome 2 by doing this - although
 there are still some annoyances.

 I really don't understand why Gnome3 took this giant step backwards, and
 Canonical took Ubuntu even further backwards with Unity.

 Cheers,
 Ben

 Just a couple of lines to cast my ballot in favor of Bob's complaint.

 I had the same reaction in response to Fedora 15 reception of the Gnome3
 thing.
 That stuff does move too far away from the power-user-desktop concept I've
 been enjoying for several years as a developer.

 Also I'm a bit frustrated to have to go after that load of tweaks in
 order to get a freshly installed system usable.

 my best regards to everybody there

 On Ubuntu 11.04 I have installed Xfce desktop ( http://www.xfce.org/ )
 - it is available via the package manager (or by installing xubuntu
 instead of regular ubuntu). It is similar to Gnome 2 and is very
 lightweight.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM Transmiter and receiver by using USRP1

hi Marcus,

I am attaching the screen shots and also block diagram of transmitter..
right now i am just trying to look for transmission of OFDM signal via
usrp1. As i mentioned earlier in the fft scope plot in gnu radio i see the
typical ofdm signal but on the other hand in usrp sink on the spectrum
analyser i saw only simple sine wave peak. please have a look and let me
know if there is something else do i need to do to generate the proper ofdm
signal on the spectrum analyser.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks for your help.

 If you're trying to embed images, it's not working, and the de-embedded 
 ones on the bottom show only
the spectrum of something typical of OFDM, and a spectrum-analyser 
 output that looks like it was
set up to sweep from 10Hz to 5GHz (is that what you had in mind?), 
 which would produce only a sharp
peak in the middle.
 
 We still don't know what your flow-graph(s) look like.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Odd behaviur of Fractional Interpolator

2011-10-18 Thread Mattia Rizzi
I’m using gnuradio-3.3.0 with GRC.
I’ve builded a graph with a Complex cosine (8Ms/s of sample rate and 1 MHz of 
frequency), the fractional interpolator with 12/8 value for interpolation and a 
FFT sink with 12MS/s of sample rate. (throttle block included).
I’m expecting to see a 1MHz cosine with the FFT, but i see a 2.25MHz cosine. If 
i put 8/12 (the inverse) i see the (correct) 1MHz cosine.
Why?
If i use the Rational resampler, with interpolation 12 and decimation 8, i see 
the correct 1MHz cosine. What’s wrong with fractional interpolator block?___

Because the fractional interpolator takes the *inverse* as the desired
fraction--think of it as a decimation
  ratio.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Fw: Odd behaviur of Fractional Interpolator

2011-10-18 Thread Mattia Rizzi
Uhm, so it’s a little bit confusing.
Another strange problem is that if i put a 0.64 value of interpolation, and my 
flow graph is a file souce-fractional interpolator-file sink, and my source 
file is 1GB of data, i’m expecting a 1GB*1/0.64 output filesize. But when i run 
the graph i get a 800MB of output filesize, minor than the source file. I 
cannot undestand this...

Your flow-graph appears to be badly confused about bandwidths and
interpolations and sample rates
  --an interpolation ratio on your USRP1 sink of 100e6 is almost
certainly *not* what you had in mind.

You probably need to learn more about all of that, and get some better
notions of how the OFDM
  modulator block works.  At the very least you'll need to
fractionally-interpolate the baseband
  up to some sample rather that *can* reasonably be further interpolated
by the USRP1 hardware.

Given how simple this graph currently is, I'd *strongly* suggest that
you upgrade your world to UHD,
  since your investment in the old world is still rather small.

I reworked the code a bit to my liking and it should also fix this

[Discuss-gnuradio] Postdoctoral position open at the University of Utah

2011-10-18 Thread Neal Patwari
Dear Colleagues,

The following postdoctoral position at the University of Utah is now
open, and we are accepting applications.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Sensing
and Processing Across Networks (SPAN) Lab at the University of Utah
(http://span.ece.utah.edu/) invites applications for an open
postdoctoral fellow position for research in radio tomography, a
research area at the intersection of statistical signal processing,
radio wave propagation, and wireless networking. The SPAN lab, led by
Prof. Neal Patwari, has significant expertise in radio channel signal
processing for location estimation in wireless networks, including the
2008 ACM MobiCom Best Student Research Demo Award, a 2009 IEEE Signal
Processing Magazine Best Paper Award, and significant popular press,
including articles in MIT Technology Review, ScienceNOW, CNET,
Engadget, Wired, Discover, Der Speigel, and The Economist. The SPAN
lab is at the forefront of the area of device-free localization,
having published six journal papers and three conference papers on the
topic in the past three years. We have also developed methods to use
wireless networks for breathing monitoring. This postdoctoral position
would expand the state-of-the-art in the capability of wireless
networks to learn about the positions and context of people in an
environment, for both emergency situations, and for everyday
applications.

About the Position:

The postdoctoral fellow position would start as soon as November,
2011, or as late as January, 2012, and would last from one to two
years, based on research performance.

The candidate must have a strong publication record including a
history of presenting / publishing in the top conferences and
journals. We are looking for a candidate with:

-  A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
-  A strong background in statistical signal processing and/or
wireless networking.

Other skills that would benefit a candidate include: experimental
experience, understanding of radio wave propagation, and leadership or
mentoring experience.

About the University of Utah:

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is
unique for the outdoor activities available within a short drive of a
major city. There are seven ski resorts within a 45 minute drive, six
US national parks within the state borders, and many other public
lands, including national forests accessible within minutes of Salt
Lake.

The University of Utah is well known for its research and
entrepreneurial success. The U. of Utah is ranked 1st in the nation
for creating new startup companies from research-based inventions, by

Probably needs a --args that tells UHD to go looking for the e100 
interface, rather than whatever its default is.


Perhaps Josh can comment on the search order that UHD uses when you 
don't explicitly specify a device, and is that order

  different on an e100?

You're right about the address--args thing. I started doing all of this on
a USRP N210, so it was always the systems IP address for me, so that's what
it became. Now, to remember all of the places where I did it and correct for
it...

As for the auto-detection, I suppose it's possible to tap into the UHD's
find_devices feature and just default to the first one it finds as opposed
to a static default. I'll talk with Josh about doing this.

I think this will help clear some things up:
http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/identification.html#identifying-usrps

So, e100 will not actually respond to the addr key. I believe that the
error stems from the usrp2 find routine trying to send a discovery
packet on the address that you specified, which may be invalid to do.

So I guess my question is, what device address arguments are being
passed into the uhd source/sink constructor?

I recommend using an empty device address. But if you have other usrps
attached to the e100 somehow, and you build uhd with support for those
usrps, you may want to specify type=e100 as a way to filter the other
devices.

Also in benchmark_tx.py I noticed that calling -m qpsk and -m bpsk still 
default to their differential versions unless I explicitly use the 
--non-differential switch. Was this intended? I assumed that specifying 
*psk vs. d*psk would do the right thing.

No intentional, and I thought I had it working correctly. It's an issue with
the OptionParser and having two options with the same name. They step on
each other. I need to figure out a better way to handle that.

 I think this will help clear some things up:

 http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/identification.html#identifying-usrps

 So, e100 will not actually respond to the addr key. I believe that the
 error stems from the usrp2 find routine trying to send a discovery
 packet on the address that you specified, which may be invalid to do.

 So I guess my question is, what device address arguments are being
 passed into the uhd source/sink constructor?

 I recommend using an empty device address. But if you have other usrps
 attached to the e100 somehow, and you build uhd with support for those
 usrps, you may want to specify type=e100 as a way to filter the other
 devices.

So does an empty string default to the first UHD device found? If so, then
that solves the problem, and I'll change all of the defaults to that (along
with the change to args).

Yea, empty device address will find everything it can. And the first
device found will be the one thats instantiated.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Segmentation Fault

2011-10-18 Thread Sriharsha Puranik
Hi all,

I am facing Segmentation Fault error.

My setup is - Ubuntu 11.04, USRP2 with WBX board, gnuradio.

The scenario is - When I run uhd_fft.py, I get the following -

(gdb) run /usr/local/bin/uhd_fft.py

The UHD logs file has been attached with the mail.

Also, USRP1 with uhd_fft.py is working fine. USRP2 works fine if there is no
UI involved (that is - /usr/local/share/uhd/examples/rx_ascii_art_dft
 --freq 900e6 --rate 1e6 --dyn-rng 120 works fine).

Can some one please take a look at this problem?

Thanks,
Sriharsha Puranik.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] fan replacement for usrp1?

2011-10-18 Thread Mark Cetilia
ok so this has been working just fine at home,
but i am actually beginning to use the usrp in performances fairly regularly,
and you never know what might happen in such situations…

so just to be on the safe side, i'd really rather replace the fan.

unfortunately i'm not having much luck finding the exact fan that came with it 
in stock anywhere,
but i've found a possible replacement that seems to basically meet the specs:
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/F410T-05LC/563-1130-ND/1165524

the only thing that doesn't match up is the air flow—
it's rated at 3.9CFM rather than the cooltron's 4.6CFM.

anyone have a clue as to whether or not this would be enough of a difference to 
cause concern?

otherwise the specs look fine, and it's supposed to have a noise floor of 12 
dBA instead of ~21, 
so we're talking roughly half the volume… could really make a difference.

thanks in advance,
mark

p.s. does anyone else have this same issue or is it just me? i'm wondering if 
maybe it's just that my fan is defective…
20 dBA should be a whisper and mine seems to be much louder than that.

 Hi Mark,
 
 If you take off the top of the enclosure on the USRP1 then you don't even 
 need a fan!
 
 Your sanity should then return :)

Yes I have.  I disconnected it.  In my opinion, it is overkill for anything
going on in a USRP1.

YMMV,

  One more thing – it looks like BITRATE refers to the USRP sample rate as
 opposed to the bitrate of the modulation scheme. I think this is a little
 confusing. Please correct me if I’m wrong with this math, using QPSK as an
 example:

 actual_bitrate = (2 bits/symbol) * 1/(SPS) * BITRATE,where
 SPS=(samples/symbol) and BITRATE is the USRP sample rate.

 Thanks,

I thought it was the bitrate; must have been another oversight when I was
working on it. I'll fix that, too.

Thanks for the bug reports (and useful suggestions)!
