Hi, You can use USRP with decim_rate = 4 only if you use FPGA image std_4rx_0tx.rbf (no half band filter). See: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UsrpFAQ/DDC Firas ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mail

Yes! "The problem we are overcoming is the USB data rate bottleneck, which is limited to 32 MBps. Although this bit rate is high enough for many applications of gnuradio, for an 802.11b receiver it is not sufficient, because of the signal's bandwidth. The RF bandwidth of an 802.11b signal is 11 M

802.11b standard uses 11 chip barker code for spreading. It means each bit is converted to 11 bits and for DBPSK and QBPSK modulation it leads to a signal with 11MHz bandwidth. When you downsample data with 8 (-d 8) it means you cut the frequency to 4Mhz (instead of 11MHz) and it means you redu

That is not always true, actually it depends on when and where you are going to measure a channel, For example in a office during a day, channel could change several times in a second. So for indoor applications a channel sounder should be as fast as possible. I can refer you to these papers

Hi I think the USRP can provide the minimum decimate rate of 4. So I changed the output data format from short to char. With 8-bit I & Q decim = 4 ->64M/4= 16MS/sec ,I&Q -> 32MB/sec. That is within the range of my USB speed. In the make_format() function I set the width = 8, shift = 8. Then the
