[Discuss-gnuradio] 'Bug' with rational resampler block in GRC

2013-09-07 Thread matt . nottingham

Hi,

Just to point out that the rational resampler block in gnuradio
3.7.[01] of gnuradio companion has a default for Taps to be
'None'. This isn't a legal option - the default in pre-3.7 versions
was a blank. If the value of None is used you get there error message:

   Param - Taps(taps):
Expression [None] is invalid for type float vector.

I suggest change the default back to blank/empty.

Thanks,

Matt

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to use USRP to detect and collect weak satellite signals

Hi there,

for those folks interested in GPS (and Galileo) signal processing with
USRP+DBSRX and GNU Radio related stuff, please take a look at the
publications available at http://gnss-sdr.org/documentation/publications

We use three VOLK-based correlators for GPS L1 and five for Galileo. An
active antenna is also desirable, but any cheap ($20) commercial part
should work well.

Best regards,
Carles

  Filters will all to some degree attenuate your signal of interest, but
 by how much varies dramatically depending on the type and design of the
 filter, it could be 0.5dB or 20dB, but the point is that it attenuates
 potential interferers and noise by a great amount. An LNA cascaded into a
 bandpass filter as close as possible to the antenna is generally an ideal
 setup for this type of weak signal work.

  LNA into filter is the line-up we use in radio astronomy, which might be
 described as the limiting case of weak-signal work.

 A circular-waveguide feedhorn designed for the band of interest will act
 as a high-pass filter with a knee at the design frequency of the
 feedhorn.  This,
   combined with directionality of a dish is often enough to eliminate the
 worst of the interferers *before* the LNA, and then apply a filter after
 the LNA.

This has been fixed, thanks.
