Hey Guys, It seems that the USRP1 out with UHD is normalized to 1.0, vs some big number as with the old USRP drivers. I assume this is correct? Otherwise my cards are not kicking out any RF power. --Colby ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnura

Hi All, In RFID applications, a reader receives (backscatter from RFID tag) and transmits (constant tone) at the same frequency. With commercial readers, a single LO will be shared by the RX and TX chain. However, in the USRP case, two separate daughter boards are used so different LOs are in use

Within the BBN RX side, all the processing blocks are stuck together so that data "streams" from each block to the next. In the final block, when a packet is successfully decoded it is loaded in a message queue. The loading into the message queue is done within the C++ code, not the python. There
