[Discuss-gnuradio] Re: USRP2 FPGA capabilities

2009-10-08 Thread Anand Padmanabha Iyer
All, We are working on a cognitive radio project, and are contemplating on using the USRP as our platform. However, we have strict timing requirements in our MAC design. We understand that the USRP2 has a much more capable FPGA compared to USRP1. What we would like to know from the community is:

Gnuradio is really cool, but it is not that useful without the USRP (or some other hardware) To a lot of experimenters and beginners and students, ~$700 (plus daughter cards) is a lot of money to tinker. What makes it really neat of course is grc. As easy to use as grc is, it still is not easy eno

Hi Douglas, Thank you for your reply. I try to find examples for in-band signaling. However, I don't see examples in the gnuradio-3.2.2. It seems that the  in-band signaling is on going work. I try to use the existing gnuradio code to achieve what I want. I have tried everything I can do to

Hi All, I've been having problems sending a 25 Msym/s BPSK stream between two USRP2's with XCVR2450 daughterboards.  I've tracked it down to the Rx circuitry limiting the passband to ~14 MHz when at least 20 MHz should be available. Sifting through the db_xcvr2450.c/db_xcvr2450.cc files, I th

George, You were talking about using m-blocks, along with doing more processing on the USRP (matched filter + dependent packet generator) in the FPGA, correct? The basic functionality of m-blocks is to be integrated into the main API as I understand (in a modified form perhaps?), and they do stil
