[Discuss-gnuradio] Is anyone within RF range of a P25 Phase 2 system?

2012-10-18 Thread Matt Robert
Hi all,

Is there anyone within range of a P25 Phase 2 system, that has access
to a USRP? I would like to get some complex baseband captures from
this system.

Cheers,
Matt

The error seems to be entirely from lxml. So I would guess that this is
an lxml issue not gnuradio related. Can you try to run python -c "from
lxml import etree" and see if the error happens?

Would you perhaps have multiple installs of gnuradio both in /usr and
/usr/local? That could be one issue

Also, while its ok to put gnuradio in /usr and grextras and pre-cog into
/usr/local. You will need to set the GRC_BLOCKS_PATH environment
variable to have entries for both block paths. The paths would be
your_install_prefix/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks

[Discuss-gnuradio] obtaining duration of Idle and busy cycles

2012-10-18 Thread Sahoo, Anirudha
Hi,
  I am trying to use "usrp_sprectrum_sense.py" to obtain
Idle (white space) and busy cycles of a channel (say channel 1
of WiFi).
  I was thinking of doing it the following way:
Continuously get the FFT (and hence power in db) of
center frequency of channel 1. Whenever the power is
very low (below a threshold), assume the channel was
idle, otherwise channel was busy.
  Let us say, I found that 10 consecutive fft readings indicated
that channel was idle, can I assume that the corresponding
idle period was 10xtime to get one FFT reading? Is "time to get one
FFT reading" equal to "dwell_delay"? If not, what is its value?
  If the above method is not accurate/correct, any other method
which would work?
  Thanks

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Blocks missing from GRC after pre-cog installation

2012-10-18 Thread Sakib Chowdhury
Hi,

Unfortunately reinstalling didn't solve the problem. I tried twice already.
What I did is first I removed all relevant gnuradio and uhd files and
folders from /usr/* folders and installed gnuradio, uhd, grextras using the
script linked on gnuradio.org website:
http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio . I opened GRC and found some
newer blocks (obviously because of some updates to the source) along with
my previously missing blocks. So, everything is fine. Then I installed
pre-cog using the set of commands at the end of the page:
https://github.com/buoyboy/pre-cog/wiki/Installation . After that I opened
GRC and blocks that start with gr_*.xml are gone.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong with the installation.
Isn't pre-cog supposed to be installed in this way? Or if pre-cog is
required, I have to install gnuradio in some other way apart from using
that script?

Thanks.

1 few things:

1) Remove the throttles, the sample rate is already throttled by the
usrp. There will be a fight.

2) I see an exception printed in the GRC window for one of the
screenshots. That might be important to share?

3) The random source should probably be 0 to 1 << 32. I believe thats a
32 bit integer stream. Things might not work as expected when the input
bits are mostly 0.

[Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM MODULATION/DEMODULATION PROBLEM

2012-10-18 Thread Bilal
Hi
I m using USRP2 and USRPN210 DB RFX900.

Block diagram
MOD:random source-->ofdm-->usrp sink
DeMOD:usrp source-->ofdm demod-->>sink scope,fft

Problem is that:
Modulation is going fine,even at the receiver end the spectrum is just like
it should be (block for OFDM )
but there is nothing at the output of OFDM demod block Sink Scope is showing
nothing.  
 
 
I have attached the mod,demod,received spectrum snaps.
Help is highly appreciated...:-)

Hi Sumit,

you (and everyone else) can submit stuff yourself to the GNU Radio web
site, it's all explained here:

I've already added your blog (and, previously, your YouTube channel),
