[Discuss-gnuradio] Lock onto QPSK signal

2016-03-15 Thread Henry Barton
Hi, does anyone know of any good tutorials that explain how to lock onto the clock of a QPSK signal and/or correlate? I know this is all very simple in GNUradio, but I hope someone knows of a website or, preferably, a video series that will explain this. If I have 10 different QPSK users,

[Discuss-gnuradio] Sample rate of file souce/sink

This is probably embarrassingly simple but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I just recorded a signal to a file sink with a sample rate of 100k. I go to use that file as a source with a throttle set to 100k and it seems to playback at approximately 1/10 the speed. When I step up the

Dear Nathan, I know QAM is the fastest modulation because it can carry more bits per symbol. This is a reason why I use QAM modulation. As bits per symbol level is higher, bit error rates will be increased. I expected it returns feasible error rate. However, error rates were too high. So I

I know I had some problems with older versions of GNU Radio with Python block and message ports breaking my flowgraph. I don't know for sure if it's the same problem though. Try to install the latest GNU Radio in a new prefix, or you could re-code this blocks in C++ in an OOT module. Cheers,

There's been some subtle miscues in this thread. Let's start over from the fundamentals. First, think about what the flowgraph is. You must understand the transmit and receive chains to do meaningful work with GNU Radio flowgraphs. This is a rather old example of sending packetized data that

That is direction finding, not distance estimation based on signal power. Two totally different approaches. You'll need at least two antennas for direction estimation. Meny, you're an engineer, read up on the theory; it's actually fun to see these signal and geometric equations fall into place.

The phones will register to your base station, when there is no infrastructure any more - this is a common scenario in a real disaster, the cell phone infrastructure will collapse quite soon. In this situation all surviving phones will search for a new signal, find your BTS and register. Then

Frequency division multiplex is having a separate frequency band for RX and for TX. You could achieve that simply by using two filters. Time division multiplex is done by either transmitting or receiving at a predefined time; that's going to be a little harder, because it typically involves

Dear Diyar, could you please define more clearly with what you mean with that? Generally, it's a good idea to explain a bit more broadly what your goal is; questions that don't do that are often very hard to answer. GNU Radio is a framework for signal processing, so yes, probably it is possible.
