I have been transmitting random data using benchmark_tx and benchmark_rx. two things happen 1. the first transmission will be successful. If i stop the command and retry it immediately nothing happens. I have to unplug and plug the ursp back again and it works. Any ideas as to why that happens an

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Minimum external clock for FPGA?

2010-01-16 Thread David Burgess
John - It is my understanding that the current FPGA image used for OpenBTS will fail on the transmit side if the FPGA clock is slower than the USB clock. The USB clock is 48 MHz. Also, the GSM symbol clock is derived from 13 MHz, so if you use a multiple-of-13 clock, you can simplify a l

Hi all, I've seen posts about folks providing an external clock of 44 MHz to the USRP, and with a few software tweaks, getting it to work. I'm wondering if there is a floor as to how low this clock be reduced without causing problems. I know some A/D converters have minimum sample rates, but the
