[Discuss-gnuradio] Capturing 12-bit data at 10MHz sample clock?

2007-09-21 Thread Jan Schiefer
This may be a dumb question, but suppose I changed the USRP ADC clock to 10MHz. Would there be a way to get 12-bit integer data across the USB, using usrp_rx_cfile.py or something similar? This would result in a manageable USB transfer rate of 30MB/s and line up pretty well with the bandwidth

Hi all- please look at this sequence of eye diagrams: http://picasaweb.google.com/steven.p.clark/GMSKFmdemodGlitches These are from a gmsk mod/demod pair, showing the output of the TX's gaussian filter (blue) overlaid with the output of the RX's fmdemod (red). BT = 0.35. At 8 samples per symbol,

Thanks Matt, I understand the issue now and switching atan functions does indeed make the glitches go away. Do you have a sense of how much slower the regular atan2f function is than gr_fast_atan2f? If the performance hit isn't too bad, I might leave it in for peace of mind. Regarding excessive

When I wrote a fast atan table look algorithm a long time ago ( and I have no recollection if our stuff traces its ancestry to that or not) I picked the table size for my problem at the time. There is a large speed up using the table lookup algorithm even on today's machines but there is no
