Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] help

[Edwin Li]

Hi Aruna,

I’m not an expert, but I guess you haven’t set your DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to 
your GNURadio prefix.
Here is what you may try:

Use setup_env.sh to setup the environment
Go to the gr-ieee802-11/build/ folder(I assume you have a build folder)
Delete everything in the build folder
In the build folder, run
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= your gnuradio install prefix ..
Then run make and make install

Do the same thing with gr-foo. Hope this solves your problem.

Regards,
Edwin

Hi Michael,

Since you said you did not have the problem I mentioned, I guess the change
is not written into the GNURadio. So I uninstall the module, re-make it,
re-installed it. After some adjustment about the vector size, it worked!
Thank you so much for shedding light on me!

Edwin

Hi Michael,

Wow! Thanks for pointing out the compatibility issue in my DCSK block. I
will modify that according to your suggestion.
I added  chaotic_prefix_generator_template.grc

to
my repository. I use it to test.
Inside there is a vector source. I tried to set the data as the output of
Logistic_map(). You will see an error: 'chaotic_prefix_bc_sptr' object has
no attribute 'Logistic_Map'

[Discuss-gnuradio] Calling public C++ function in OOT module using Python

[Edwin Li]

Hi,

I've been trying to make a function in my OOT module public. The module is
called chaotic_prefix_bc.
I declare a pure virtual function called *Logistic_map()* in
chaotic_prefix_bc.h, and overload it in chaotic_prefix_bc_impl.h and
chaotic_prefix_bc_impl.cc.
When I call this function in a vector source(in GNURadio) using:
chaos.chaotic_prefix_bc(0.8,3.98,50,'len_tag_key').Logistic_map(0.8,3.98,50),
it says 'chaotic_prefix_bc_sptr' object has no attribute 'Logistic_map'.
I tried the make clean trick mentioned in the mailing list, but to no avail.
I attached my code below. Please help me~

Edwin

[Discuss-gnuradio] Tagged stream block template for python?

[Edwin Li]

Dear subscribers,

I just found out that you can only create *general block, sync block,
decimator block and interpolator block *in python.
See the official manual for reference
https://www.gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page_python_blocks.html

Is there no a tagged stream block template for python? There is a
counterpart in c++.

[Discuss-gnuradio] How to use the output of a hierarchical block in the symbols field in Correlation Estimator

[Edwin Li]

Dear Mailing list subscribers,

I'm using some self-defined packet prefix(chaotic complex numbers) in my
communication system. In the receiver, I use Correlation Estimator to
detect the packets. It needs to know the prefix. Since the prefix are
interpolated and filtered by a root raised cosine filter, I decide to build
a hierarchical block to generate the prefix for the correlation estimator.
The hierarchical block alone works fine. But I can't call the block in the
symbols field in correlation estimator. It shows 'module' object is not
callable. It makes some sense to me.

Is there a better way to do it? I prefer using existing modules since why
reinvent the wheel? Thanks.

Edwin

[Discuss-gnuradio] Use microphone as sound source for USRP

[Edwin Li]

Dear Mailing List Subscribers,

There is an aux IO on the USRP X310 motherboard. I want to connect it with
a microphone(Assume it outputs 12-bit digital signal that is compatible
with the IO). I found very little information on how to use the IO other
than the USRP manual( http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_gpio_api.html).
There are a few people talking about it on the list but their applications
are very different from mine.

My question is that is it possible to read values from the IO using
GNURadio functions? How does GNURadio know the data rate of the IO?

Thanks.

[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP Underruns "UUUUU"

[Edwin Li]

Hi,

There are several things you can try:

1. Split the USRP sink and source to two separate flow graphs.
2. 20M sampling rate is very high. Make sure your computer can handle this 
rate. If not sure, just reduce the rate. 
3. If any of the above does not work, you may try to run “volk_profile”. It is 
in “prefix/bin/”

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM channel tap questions

[Edwin Li]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your detailed explanation. I figured out the causes for non-unity 
channel taps in my case. One is I didn’t consider normalization. Second, it was 
because that the Schmidl-Cox sync has a metric plateau. Imperfect 
synchronization gave me the phase rotation.

This is weired. The channel is just AWGN.  Why are not the channel taps 1?

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Update 2: BPSK problem: intermittent inter-symbol interference--Answer about the burst shaper and SPS

[Edwin Li]

Hi Marcus,

To be honest with you, I have the burst shaper because the examples I found
in /gr-digital/examples/packets have it.  I guess it would be helpful if my
packets are short. But I don't really have to restrict my packets to be
short. All I have in mind is compare the BPSK BER curve on USRP with the
theoretical one. If long packets can solve the problem. I'll go with long.
It seems that you and your colleague believe the intermittent ISI comes
from the burst shaper? I'll try removing the block and see what happens.

I have the sample-per-symbol being 2 because I read it somewhere in the
tutorial that 2 is practical.  Larger number would give higher SNR but at a
higher computational cost. I tried 4. There would be a higher chance of
getting the intermittent ISI.  Could it be the computational power that
throttles the performance? But my CPU usage is only about 50% when running
the simulation. However, I get quite a lot underruns if an USRP sink is
activated. I use 1G Ethernet to connect the USRP. The sample rate is only
800K.

Regards,
Edwin

[Discuss-gnuradio] Update: BPSK problem: intermittent inter-symbol interference and phase change

[Edwin Li]

I changed the sample per symbol from 4 to 2, the number of filters in rrc 
filter from 128 to 32, and the intermittent ISI(there is still ISI but it is 
uniform across the packets) and phase change is gone(in simulation). 

I run the program on 2 USRPs, one as Tx one as Rx. The intermittent ISI is 
back. But I suppose it is caused by imperfect timing and frequency 
synchronization.  

Anyone can comment on this please?

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM Preamble

[Edwin Li]

Hi Adhitha,

I haven't used the "OFDM Insert Preamble" module before. But in my
understanding, in tx_ofdm.grc, "OFDM Carrier Allocator" does the job of
"OFDM insert preamble". It uses "sync word" instead of "preamble". I think
they are the same thing. As for FFT length, keep it the same as your other
OFDM modules. Note that the length of a sync word must be the same as FFT
length.
