Hi Zing Yu, to be fair, this problem is not what you asked for in your initial post. A couple of notes: - The output buffer does not have to be "full" in order for the scheduler to call the following downstream block. - Undeterministic latency is one inherent problem of GNU Radio - 200 ms seems

Hi everyone, I just wanted to announce that I've pushed ControlPort onto the next branch (for more details on ControlPort, see this for now: http://www.trondeau.com/home/2012/11/18/public-release-of-controlport.html). A couple of notes. First, we've integrated ControlPort into gnuradio-core so th

Hello all, I have a question applying to everybody that have tried transmitting symbols in different kinds of modulation (BPSK, QPSK, GMSK etc). I am using the following configuration in GNU Radio ( random source block -> bytes to symbols -> SRRC block -> file sink) The attached figure plots the

Have you taken into account the group delay of the filter? How long is your filter? Try sending zeroes at the end to flush your filter state? Brian On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 11:35 PM, George Sklivanitis < george.sklivani...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have a question applying to everybo

The filter is consisted of 55 taps. I tried by sending zeros. Though zeros are interpreted in -1's from the modulation mapping block. Moreover, the zeros will be taken into account as symbols to be shaped, therefore, the same thing will happen. -George On 12/5/12 12:07 AM, Brian Padalino wrot

You'll need to figure out how to flush the filter state and send actual 0+0j samples through. Maybe you can set a flag and multiply the samples coming out by 1 or 0 depending if you are flushing or not? Brian On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 12:11 AM, George Sklivanitis < george.sklivani...@gmail.com> wr
