Dear all, I am trying to use the alamouti code implemented by trondeau. Studying the gr_ofdm_frame_acquisition I found several concepts that are not clear to me: Wow, this code is pretty old, and we never did finish it. I hope you get it working! I'd love to see the results. Yes I

Hello to you too At our university we have seen this behaviour as well. Our setup is a USRP N210 with a 2400 daughterboard into a Rhode Swartz spectrum analyzer. We also get these sidelobes, and if you trawl the archives, you will find others have as well. Currently we are working on a theory

Hello 2011/10/27 Marcus D. Leech mle...@ripnet.com The attached two_tone flow-graph shows that close-in intermod products are sensitive to overall signal magnitude settings. Keep the digitla signal magnitudes lower, and the intermod products are quite well suppressed. The

Well, that sounds like the lazy solution, intermodulation products are bad, so just throwing the transmitter power away is not what I'd prefer. But what it points to is an *analog* issue, entirely independant of the CORDIC (which, as I observe, isn't likely involved in the test cases at

I'll refer the list to this: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/attachments/download/249/02-ettus-practical-radios.pdf Which gives a decent overview of the issues that happen at the interface between the digital world of perfection, and the horrible, capricious, analog world beyond the DAC. --
