Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM with fft lenght 2048 and 4096 doesn't work

2010-06-21 Thread An He
could you try a smaller number of fft sub carriers (e.g., fft=128, occupied=80, cp=32, i/d=32)? usually this works better than an ofdm with a large number of carriers. this might be because the frequency offset of the radio becomes comparable to the bin size when the number of sub carriers is large

Well it depends, on the problem. If you have a radio that is transmitting in the same channel as another radio, then you can directly feed one to the noise channel and receive the other at the antenna. I know in radio astronomy people have been using this technique to cancel interference from the

I am not aware of any previous work of this type, but it's interesting. Out of curiosity, how would you make sure the second channel does not include the signal as well? To cancel out noise, both receivers would need to be relatively close to each other to receive the same noise, which means they w

For the old(er) USRP2 driver (i.e. in the current released version of GNURadio) - the C++ block supports the functionality to synchronize the clock, and they are available in python as well, but I don't believe the GRC block exposes this functionality. It would be relatively trivial to add a drop-

Hi, I've found (thanks to Firas) the solution to the incorrect localization in frequency of the maximum values. It's due to the factors tune-delay and dwell-delay of the bin_statistics_f function. You have to increase these values (setting both in 50e-3 I can locate quiet well the max values)
