I think it's some kind of a porting error ;)

Sorry, I can't get to it right now, but please ping me early next week
if you haven't got it sorted out.

Yep - looking at the 0.9 bit-timing-loop output:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g09_btl_data-1.jpg

vs a 2.x port of it shows something going wrong, using
the same input data:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g2_btl_data-1.jpg

could be something to do with differences in buffering,
scheduling, etc between gr0.9 and gr2.x.

To me it looks like the symbol timing tracker is not tracking properly.
As the sample time shifts relative to the correct sample time you come
in and out of alignment.  As I recall, the equalizer comes after the
timing sync, so it won't work.  It needs proper symbol timing, and
without it will actually make things worse.

[Discuss-gnuradio] atsc signal plots

2006-05-05 Thread Charles Swiger
Here's some pictures for Friday - I though these were interesting,
the output of the 0.9 atsc equalizer showing the 8 levels getting
more distinct with every field:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g09_eq_data-1.jpg

Zooming in:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g09_eq_data-2.jpg

shows the field sync which is largely made up of only +5/-5,
and zooming in on the beginning:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g09_eq_data-3.jpg

you can make out the +5 -5 -5 +5   segment sync, followed
by the start of the pn511 pattern (7 -5's, +5, -5, then 
8 +5's).



The 2.0 port isn't doing as well - a few eyes show up here
and there:

http://webpages.charter.net/cswiger/g2_eq_data-1.jpg

and that's with the NOP equalizer. The LMS eq is all noise
all the time.
