[Discuss-gnuradio] Question about UHD output data type.

2010-10-19 Thread 周亮
Hi, I met a strange problem about UHD output data. I write the sampler program according to rx_timed_samples.cpp and use int 16 bits as io type as in command: size_t num_rx_samps = dev-recv( buff, sizeof(buff), md, uhd::io_type_t::COMPLEX_INT16,

2010-10-19 Thread Brett L. Trotter
I have UHD built, burned a UHD firmware to SD, the USRP2 pings, uhd_find_devices is happy- how do I use usrp2_fft.py for instance with UHD- or do I need to edit the .py files to change the flowgraph for UHD? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere already. -Brett

[Discuss-gnuradio] Dynamic range of USRP2-XCVR2450

2010-10-19 Thread Jorge Miguel
Hi, I am trying to find out the dynamic range of the system USRP2-XCVR2450. Looking at the schematics it seems there isn't automatic gain control in the whole RF chain, Isn't it? Thus the dynamic range of the system would be the ADC dynamic range, which is 2 volts Am I right? Cheers, Jorge.

[Discuss-gnuradio] noise figure of XCVR2450

2010-10-19 Thread Per Zetterberg
Hi List, I have previously claimed on this list that I have measured a noise figure of some 4dB on the XCVR2450. However, I probably made the following mistake: I used a CW of 2.4GHz as signal. However,there is spurious at 2.4GHz which I mistook for being my desired signal. The signal generator

[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP alternatives for CR / DSA application

2010-10-19 Thread Timothy Kain
Hello all, Currently I am in the opening stages of a senior design project for my EE degree. My end of the project will be to implement a CR / DSA radio using the GNU platform but not necessarily using the USRP as the platform of choice. Looking for alternatives to the USRP, I was wondering if

There's an argument to be made for this. It'll go into the thinking about the refactoring of the code. blks2impl must be burned I think the structure in the gr-noaa directory is a good example of how to organize a set of related blocks and applications. There is also the concept of

[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 UART use

We're exploring the possibility of monitoring the overrun/underrun status via the USRP2 UART. I'm curious to learn what approaches people have taken to do this (e.g., connect the UART to a logic analyzer, use a level shifter - RS232 - host serial/USB port, etc.). I'd also like to know what
