Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] ATSC fixups

2013-08-07 Thread Andrew Davis
Yeah, That doesn't seem to be anything I messed with, anyway I pushed
another commit that if compiles for everyone could be merged into the
Gnuradio master. I found that the "Magic coupling constant" isn't so magic
and can be complexly removed and replaced with an AGC block set to a
reference level of 4 ( the mean value of the pseudo-random 1 3 5 7 levels
of the ATSC PAM signal ). So I separated that out of the fpll block. For
some reason I simply cannot make a complex PLL that works the same way the
old PLL works, I get close but i'm still missing something, once I get that
figured out it will shave off approximately 12% from the decoding time (
thanks to the new performance counters I can now easily track what my
fix-ups are doing and whats left before real-time decoding ).

Thanks you,
Andrew

It was removed and left in fpll.h, i'll push a fix in just a bit, in

Hello,

I git cloned the atscfixup branch and tried building it. Here's as far as I
got:

Perhaps this file was accidentally left out of the repository (?)

First, let me say that I'm very happy this code is getting some
attention. It was originally written to use the low-IF output of a TV
tuner and ADC, and also when GNU Radio only had a single-threaded
scheduler.  Later, it was only minimally modified to use the USRP
complex baseband IQ output. (I wasn't around GNU Radio at the time and
the above is only what I surmise by looking at the code history.)

The changes you describe are more like it would have been written had
the USRP existed at the time.

The all_atsc.py file was a work-in-progress effort by Ben Reynwar that I
merged in, but he and I never finished what we were going to do with it.

The upconversion and filtering is a large CPU waste when it could be
done at baseband, but it seems this was just a quick-and-dirty way to
get the baseband IQ from a USRP to look like a low-IF output instead in
order to re-use what was already written and working.

Real-time execution would be a welcome accomplishment!

No need.

By the way, before any of this can be merged, we'll need a copyright
assignment from you.  I'll email you off-list about how this works.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] ATSC fixups

2013-07-15 Thread Andrew Davis
Sure:

- first the description is correct and not just copied from interp_short.py
- removed the writing to 'atsc_complex.data' as this uses a lot of space
and seems to have no meaning outside of debugging
- I use interleave_short_to_complex instead of s2s -> s2f -> f2c chain
- lp_coeffs and duc_coeffs uses input_rate instead of just the number,
should make changing it easier
- lp_coeffs no longer arbitrarily adds 3 gain
- duc now shifts the frequency in the correct direction
- the root raised cosine filter taps no longer need to be heterodyned into
place as I just use it at baseband
- the root raised cosine filer gets used now ( for some reason it was not
in the chain before and this was severely causing ISI )
- lower_edge and upper_edge seemed arbitrary and were not in the right spot
anyway

After this stuff and the reorganization a simple diff would not have saved
much,
also i'm working on 'atsc_tx.py',so 'all_atsc.py' would be confusing, hence
the name change.

Also the other scripts seem unnecessary with the new thread-per-block
sceduler, the also seem to cause
a lot of beginners confusion. So I felt they needed to go.

I have also built a ( semi ) working complex fpll for gr-atsc, this removes
the need for up-converting and the filtering
after the current fpll, my next atsc_rx will need the new script style.
After I finish updating the bit timing loop
we will be almost real time I believe!

P.S. I could still just do the diff to the old all_atsc.py and rename if
you want.

Thank you
Andrew

Hello all,

I have been working on getting gr-atsc running again, I have found a few
speedups and some bugs that prevented ATSC decoding from working with new
versions of GNURadio. I have put these fixes into a branch that can now
decode signals from my local TV station. The changes are in commit in this
branch: https://github.com/glneo/gnuradio/tree/atscfixup
