[Discuss-gnuradio] Status of GNURadio + GPU (specifically CUDA)

2009-03-20 Thread isaacgerg

I noticed there was some work in this area being done by Martin Dudok van
Heel in the developers branch of the repository.

Can anyone comment on what has been done so far in this area and what kind
of speeds they are getting now?

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

How do you implement your energy detector to detect the bursts?
Also, on your website, you say you can process 7 calls simultaneously on the

What code/algorithm are you using for the GSM demodulator? Is it the one

Eric,
  I read the ticket.  We are just sending float data and it doesnt appear
that the arms are getting flipped, but that over time, their phase is
changing.  Our correlation peaks go from being very positive to being very
negative over a gradient.

Any ideas?

Eric,
  I have answered you questions inline:

>>Are you seeing any over or underruns ("uOuO" or "uUuU") on the console?
  Occasionally, I see "u0" on the rx. But, even if i post process data
offline, i still get the "flip"

>> How wide is the signal you're trying to send?
  The rx interp is 256 and the tx interp is 512 giving a BW=250Khz.  Since I
am just sending random samples, I am using the whole band.

>> What interpolation and decimation values are you using?
  See above.

>> Try sending it at 10MHz.
  I did.  The Rx cannot see my signal anymore; a PSD confirms this.  Not
sure why.. maybe an antenna issue. 

>> What version of GNU Radio are you using?
  I do not know what version the radios are. How do i find this out? The
serial numbers are 1460 and 1461 and there is a date on the sticker that
says 4/16/07.

>> Have you isolated the problem to the Tx or Rx path?
  I believe it is in the Rx path.  The TX path simply reads up a data file
of samples and sends them to the USRP... very simple.  The RX path receives
the data and attempts to correlate on the samples I sent.  However, I am
noticing that the correlation is postive, then negative, and continues this
way alternating about every 1000 samples or so.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Possible residual carrier not reported correctly

2008-07-25 Thread isaacgerg

Hi,
  I am using the Basic RX/TX at 24Mhz.  Both the tx and rx tell me that
there is no residual carrier.  yet, the waveform I send seems to keep
flipping from positive to negative polarity.  Is it possible that there is
residual carrier that is not being reported correctly?

Thanks in advance.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Flipping problem

2008-07-23 Thread isaacgerg

I am sending a known sequence of samples from one USRP to another using the
Basix RX/TX d'boards setting the frequency to 24e6.

When I rx the sequence, the correlation of it keeps flipping, but not in a
way that suggests residual carrier.  It seems as if I am experiencing an
instantaneous flip.

My gain on both the RX and TX is set to 500. The signal amplitude I rx is
~1200. When I run the GRC model, the Rx says I have no residual carrier,
invert is set to false, the dxc frequency is set to -24e6 and the baseband
to zero.  On the TX side, I have these same values with the exception of the
dxc freq, it is not set to 24e6. Why the flip??   What do all these things
mean???

Is 24e6 a bad freq to use with the basic TX/Rx?

Thanks in advance!

2008-07-23 Thread isaacgerg

Is there any documentation on what the gain does for the USRP receive and
transmit functions.  Sometimes it seems like these values are meaningless.

Also, I am noticing that when I begin to Rx data, there is often a huge
amplitude spike within the first 2k samples I Rx.  Is this normal?

[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Companion Simplex Tx/Rx not working

2008-06-25 Thread isaacgerg

I have the basic TX and basic RX boards for my USRP.  I am using GRC 0.7 and
I cant get the simplex tone test to work.  What setting should I tweak or do
you know why it wouldnt work?  Is it possible that I have the wrong antenna?

Thanks in advance

[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Companion USRP Transmitter Example

2008-06-25 Thread isaacgerg

Does anyone have an .xml file that shows an example of doing this? 
Currently, I have a USRP sink with the following parameters and I cant get
any signals on my Rx USRP.  I know my Rx USRP is working as I can run the
gnuradio ptt example and I can see energy appearing on the PSD.

Here are my USRP Sink parameters:
Input type: complex
usint #: 0
subdev spec: side B
freq: 2500
gain 3200
mux 0x0
auto t/r : ignore
tx enable: enable
interp: 400

The input to the sink is a cosine wave at 1 with amplitude 100.

Thanks in advance.

2008-06-05 Thread isaacgerg

Hi,
  Concerning GSM GMSK demodulation, due to the ISI, I initially thought many
folks were using the Viterbi algorithm on the waveform to demodulate it
properly.  After doing some lit review, I am finding that this is not the
case and that when most folks talk about Viterbi concerning GSM GMSK
demodulation, they are referring to undoing the convolution encoding and not
referring to demodultion in the face of ISI.  Can anyone please confirm
this?

I see many demodulators simply just ignoring the ISI and just demodulating
as if it wasnt present.  It seems they just rely on the convolutional
encoding for error correction and therefore dont need to worry about the
ISI..Is this true?

[Discuss-gnuradio] GMSK midamble template matching

2008-05-28 Thread isaacgerg

I would like to identify the 26 midamble bits in each burst of GSM (GMSK)
data.  I hear that a lot of ppl use correlation to do this.  However, I am
struggling to understand how this technique could work due to the ISI from
the Gaussian pulse shaping.   It seems that the wavefrom of the 26 midamble
bits is depdented on the data coming before them and thus, template matching
would not work.  There must be something I am missing here. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks in advanced,
Isaac

Hi,
  I am hooked up to the BasicRx Daughterboard and wrote a simple applicate
using the GRC to survey the spectrum from 1MHz to 250MHz and run the user
tunable output through the WFM Demodulator.  I can get FM radio stations in
the 88-108MHz region just find.  However, I am also getting copies of these
stations at frequencies higher and lower than this range!!!  It's as if the
frequency I request is out of range and the tuner wraps around.  What's
going on here?  When I tune to 50MHz, I expect to be at 50MHz, not some
other frequency! 

Also, why are there two Rx outputs on this daugther board?  How do they
differ?  Maybe my problem is here.

Thanks,
