[Discuss-gnuradio] MIMO 2Tx to 1Rx

2007-08-14 Thread Joseph Crowley
Hi, I'm currently completing my thesis year at uni, and am running out of time to complete. My question is, how easy/hard is it to create a digital 2Tx to 1Rx antenna configuration using two USRP boards and the BASICTX and BASICRX daughterboards? I am hoping to have a MIMO SDR system implementin

Thanks, that helps some. I figured that I could put in the literal size of the data, in bytes, but that only helps if it actually matches how the GR blocks are going to process those bytes. When possible, I would prefer to use the constants that have been set up so that the code is (1) more re

Hi! First of all, excuse me for this beginner's question. Furthermore this is a little bit offtopic. I have copied gr-howto-write-a-block and adapted everything to my needs. Now, in the Makefiles, it says "This file is part of GNU Radio". But my project is not part of the GNU Radio framework, and

2007-08-14 Thread Bahn William L Civ USAFA/DFCS
Is it possible (in a relatively easy manner) to make the data from the ADC (or, probably better and more doable, from the DDC) available at the external pins of the USRP and to get external data from the USRP pins and feed that to the PC? Essentially we want to use the FPGA board as a front-end

Thanks for all the responses from everyone. Right, it has a BNC, that was my mistake. I pretty much have no supplies other than a ton of SMA cables that were purchased for the USRPs. So I'm building up my stash :) - George Chris Albertson wrote: --- George Nychis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
