Hi,
I am trying to use the the poly-phase clock sync.
At high S/N levels it works very well but at low S/N (<20dB S/N)
it's performance is very bad. Which probably means I have made a
mistake somewhere.
The parameters I am passing to the module to generate the mother filter are

Hello,
I just got my USRP2 and WBX today and am trying to test it.
find_usrps finds it, and usrp2_fft.py produces a spectrum
display but when I generate a low level signal I don't see
it on the display.
I have looked at the schematic and it seems to indicate I have not
selected the antenna i
I assume it will be in /releases/usrp2-bin/trunk

We haven't posted the USRP2 firmware which supports the WBX yet. Look
for it later today.

I have been playing around with the USRP2, mainly to

not supported. The documentation is fairly sparse and even more
so on the USRP2. The USRP2 sinks don't have the same naming format
as those for the USRP1 i.e sink_32fc vs sink_c which confuses me.

You should definitely be able to see something at 1.001GHz, but any
residual DC offset will also cause a spike at 1
The problem has now been solved. I had assumed the USRP2's
DAC sample rate of 400 MS/s was the rate I had to interpolate to.
Not so, it should be 100/s MS/s.
Thanks all

Would it be possible (now)/( or in the future) to be able to change the

Hello,
I am a bit confused, there seems to be two versions of the UHD firmware
a "Raw Ethernet version" and a "UDP version". I am about to try and move my
USRP2 application to UHD and I was wondering which version I should be
using? I have a USRP2 and a WBX board.

Hi,
Sorry for the subject line but I couldn't think of what else to call it.
I have been using the UHD in my application and while adding the

Hi,
Is there any way of calibrating out or mitigating the
carrier at the WBX tx frequency? I am sending
a wideband signal and the carrier (which I assume is
due to dc coupling in the WBX) is at a significant level
compared to my signal.

Hi Johnathan,
You can offset the carrier with UHD by passing a 2nd parameter
in the set_tx_freq call. Unfortunately it only seems to work with
small offsets, far too small to take it outside the passband of my
signal. :-( It was not so much of a problem with my DVB-S code
but I am now playing
Hi Johnathan,
I tried an offset of 10 MHz and the output on the spectrum analyser
looks frazzled, it no longer looked clean. Funnily enough the satellite
receiver still managed to lock to the signal.
I am fiddling about with an anti aliasing filter at the moment
but when I have that sorted I wil
Well I have had another look at the offset stuff.
What seems to be happening is that when you apply an offset
you have to scale back the max IQ values being sent to the USRP2.
I get this situation.
No LO offset, great raised cosine shaped QPSK signal
Add LO offset, QPSK signal looks awful.

3 - Measure the amplitude of the TX DC offset as received by the RX (in
this case at -1 MHz). Iteratively adjust your I TX DC offset number
until you get to the lowest power you can see. Then do the same for Q.
If it still isn't low enough, do I again.

Hello Dinos,
As no one has answered you I will have a try.
Physically the USRP can send DVB-S and DVB-S2
the main problem may well be the symbol rate
you require to mimic the satellite transponder.
As far as Gnuradio S/W is concerned I am not
aware of anything that will do what you want at the
