Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UCLA ZigBee and the Capture Effect

Hi LRK, Thanks for the reply! I thought so too, that this capture effect or phase locking or limiting should come from the demodulator or clock recovery block, but looking at the c++ files, I couldn't find anything related to this. Did I miss something? The receiver is connected as follow

Hi! Thank you for your suggestions! I realized it is a problem related with computer speed. Today I used a laptop to run the same code, and 'O' is printed much more frequently. However, the computer I'm using is a quite good one. It has intel i7 3.4GHz 8-core, and when the code is running, CPU is

I think the problems with SNR is with the FM Demod, my car stereo can get RDS as the station fades 40 miles away, but with my USRP has trouble picking up the stereo pilot from a 50kw station one mile away ( -10dBm ). FM demod is hard for software ( I think GNUradio just uses a zero-crossing detecto

You are writing to a file in a blocking thread, its not the CPU it's the hard drive. You should try the program without the write. Then if it is the problem you should write out to a file on a ram disk then save it to a real disk later. 2012/2/24 Wu Ting : > Hi! Thank you for your suggestions! > >

Modern disk subsystems can easily sustain 80MB or more per second even on relativley wimpy hardware What is the sample rate involved here? Seriously, I've been able to stream multi-MHz of bandwidth to disk for long periods without any 'O' happening. -Marcus On Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:23:05 -0

Actually, I'm using the blks2 WBFM block, which I believe is a PLL demodulator. Both of my "test" stations are actually roughly 100km away from me, broadcasting from a high point in the Ottawa Valley. One station comes in about 10dB stronger than the other, although both have an ERP of abou

It would be great to have the rds code inside the gnuradio tree instead of in a separate cgran project! ; ) I don't know why, but when I tried the cgran rds code, the grc example worked much better then the python one. Best regards, Rafael Diniz > > > Actually, I'm using the blks2 WBFM block, wh

I don't know about having it inside the main codebase, but converting it to use the CMake build system would be good, since it didn't really understand how to place its python files into a filesystem that uses /usr/local/lib64--so I had to move them manually. -Marcus On Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:

Hi! Marcus, The sample rate is 4MHz. I also tried 1MHz and 10MHz. On my laptop, the frequency of 'O' is related with sampling rate and is quite common. On the desktop, I always have to wait quite a while before an 'O' is printed. But it is printed even when the sampling rate is 200kHz. Following
