I’ve finally figured out all the steps to get Vector decimation working with

A few notes:  I don’t think forecast() is ever called with a decimate block.

Multiple output vectors are possible, and care needs to be taken to count
all the outputs.

My initial QA only had one vector output, so worked fine.
GRC was generating multiple vectors as output and my vave code was chocking
on multiple outputs.

I’ve yet to figure out how to put this block in GitHub


Glen:

First, congrats on getting your first custom block working.  I pop the 
virtual champagne cork in your general direction.


Next, rough outline of getting your stuff on GitHub:

Create a GitHub account.  Create a project.

Do an initial git clone of the project, and move your "stuff" into there.

Git "add" all the pieces that should be under source control.

Git "commit -a"

Git push

There, you have an initial instance of your stuff.

Now, since this block just does the (rough) equivalent (at the moment) 
of a single-pole-IIR filter followed by a keep-one-in-N, it would be 
useful to compare
  performance of your fused block.  I suspect that it will be 
poorer--because it's written in Python.


A fairer test would be to create a fused averager+decimator in C++, 
taking advantage of whatever SIMD tricks might be available.  The savings
  on "fused" blocks are that they localize data-motion, but they may, 
for significant-sized inputs, lose out due to the single-threaded nature 
of them.


Optimization is tricky, and it's not always obvious that any given 
approach will "always work".

Hi Nicoloas!
Thanks for your valuable response.
Regarding Python compatibility - I will work upon version independent
compatibility using information from the following links:
Link[1]  Link[2]

Regarding specific milestones - I have now listed the work that can be
assessed after the completion of various phases.
Regarding CV: I have removed the section of such personal details from the
CV as well as proposal.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problems with dvbt 8k 64QAM

2018-03-16 Thread Ron Economos

It depends on how impaired your captured signal is. Here's a list.

1) Signal to noise ratio. For 64QAM, you'll need about 20 dB of S/N, 
preferably more.


2) DC offset. If you have a large DC offset (big spike in the middle of 
the received spectrum), that can cause problems. Unlike LTE, DVB-T uses 
the center carrier, and a large DC offset will destroy that carrier.


3) Multipath. You can determine how much multipath you have from the 
flatness of the signal. Here's what my test setup looks like. There's a 
little multipath since the signal slopes up to the right. If you have 
large peaks and valleys, then you have significant multipath.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Website security breach (gnuradio.org)

2018-03-16 Thread Andrej Rode
Hello,

Last week we discovered that the Wordpress installation of the website had been 
compromised. The compromise allowed access to the system to an unauthenticated, 
unprivileged
remote user for at least the past year.

In the worst case scenario it is possible that the website has been serving 
hostile scripts, but we can find no evidence of this having occured.
Due to the large security implications to the system running the website we 
have shut it down and are now serving a static snapshot of the website until 
further notice.
This compromise only affected the Wordpress website (gnuradio.org) and its 
MySQL database. The wiki, cgit repository, LiveDVD images, and everything else 
are not affected.

We are considering how best to improve the security of the website in the long 
run.

Cheers
Andrej

[Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM TX/RX

2018-03-16 Thread guillaume.tochou

Hello all,

I want to make a flow graph for transmitting and receiving OFDM 
modulated data. To be precise, I want to do a LTE-M "like" 
transmission/reception, so I am trying to transmit data with a BW of 
1.08 MHz OFDM.
To do so, I use the following configuration : samp_rate = 1.92 MHz, fft 
length = 128, number of sub carriers = 72 , cp = 32


I modified the tx_ofdm.grc example file 
(/gnuradio/gr-digital/examples/ofdm/tx_ofdm.grc)
To summary, I change the occupied carriers : range(-36, -21) + 
range(-20, -7) + range(-6, 0) + range(1, 7) + range(8, 21) + range(22, 
37),) ; pilot carriers and symbols unchanged ; double the sync words to 
be equal to fft length.


The problem is at the output of the "Tag debug" I have just those 
messages :

INFO: Parser returned #f
INFO: Detected an invalid packet at item 1496
..
INFO: Parser returned #f
INFO: Detected an invalid packet at item 681901

And the spectrum isn't "stable" at 1.08 MHz BW.

What am I doing wrong ? How the sync words are determine ? Should I add 
pilot/symbol carriers ?



Best Regards and thanks by advance,

Guillaume Tochou

[Discuss-gnuradio] Working with GRC! Vector decimate

2018-03-16 Thread Glen I Langston

Hi

Thanks for your help.  I know no-one else cares, but
I’ve finally figured out all the steps to get Vector decimation working with 
GRC.

A few notes:  I don’t think forecast() is ever called with a decimate block.

Multiple output vectors are possible, and care needs to be taken to count
all the outputs. 

My initial QA only had one vector output, so worked fine.
GRC was generating multiple vectors as output and my vave code was chocking
on multiple outputs.

I’ve yet to figure out how to put this block in GitHub#!/usr/bin/env python

Hi Ogün,

we're usually happier about just copied & pasted /text/ instead of a
/screenshot of text/, but this is OK.

Sadly, without knowing what you're doing in your flowgraph, we can't
even take a realistic guess what you're doing. So, you would need to
share a screenshot of your flowgraph.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gr-modtool overhaul: Proposal draft

2018-03-16 Thread Nicolas Cuervo
Hello Swapnil Negi,

Thank you for your proposal! This project has been in the pipeline for long
and I'm very excited to see your interest in working on it. I have very few
comments for now, but the discussion can definitely continue open:

So the timeline that you are proposing is:
1) Python3 Compatible
2) Implement Plugin Architecture
3) Restructure code in favor of functional behavior
4) work on UI if time allows

And I agree with this timeline, as it puts core focus on the architectural
overhaul without disregarding other details aside.

   - If I understand correctly, your first task to tackle is the Py3k
   compatibility, which is great. This is definitely something that needs to
   be done, as there is a continuous effort on making the whole GNURadio
   Python3 compatible. But Python2 is not EOL for little less than 2 years
   more, so continuous compatibility is something that has to be kept in mind.
   Let's take your proposed code for raiseException, whose implementation
   won't work on Python2. There are ways to ensure compatibility (using
   wrappers from 'six' for example, which adds a dependency - which can be
   discussed)
   I, however, see that the Python3 branch from GNU Radio already
   implements the syntax that you are proposing, so I might being just too
   picky on this. I expect comments on the matter from the list.

   - I see that you have put efforts in contributing already to the project
   by fixing some issues on the tool, and there is hardly a better way to get
   used to it and contribute to the project. No comment here apart from saying
   that we do appreciate you took that path as it puts you into context and
   improves the project. Win-Win!

   - I would work on the format of the proposal as well to help you make a
   better impression and increases your chances of this being accepted. In
   your timeline, be sure to explicitly say what deliverable can be expected
   when. It's good to know when you are going to start working on something,
   but it is also important to know when you are expected to have it finished.
   Words like "Milestone" or even "Deliverable" might make this clear, maybe
   around the evaluation dates.

   - I see that you included your CV, which is nice to have, but do you
   _really_ want your personal data (like phone and address) out in the open?


I might come back with more comments, but for now this is looking promising!

Cheers,
- Nicolas

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problems with dvbt 8k 64QAM

Thanks Ron

 Now The constellation at the exit of demod reference signal now locks .

The duration of the file is 4 minutes fifty seconds 290 seconds. The four
cores work almost 100%

 At the moment I have not got a TS file at the exit that have content

  A question could now be:Why  a file created with gqrx from a real signal
does not lock?

The only difference  I  see at a glance between a file created by gqrx and
the one you send me is that yours has a much greater relation C/N that mine.

You have to set the Cyclic Prefix Length on the OFDM Symbol Acquisition 
block to 2048 to match the 1/4 guard interval (8192/4 = 2048).

  The constellation at the exit of the FTT block engages with 64 
points (+5), randomly engages and at 2 seconds they appear in a 
circular way (this also made it to the adv16.cfile file), re-lock  
them and the 2 seconds later or less appear in a circular way and so 
consecutively


  The constellation to the output of demod reference signal only 
appears with a point in the center. The processor cores work at 50%
