[Discuss-gnuradio] Using BasicTX for binary data transmission

2007-03-26 Thread jjw
Hello, I'm interested in taking some binary data that I've generated using GNU Radio and outputting it to hardware at TTL levels. The data would be coming out at a relatively low frequency (50-100kHz). I haven't been able to find anything describing the voltage levels possible using the BasicTX

[Discuss-gnuradio] GMSK carrier recovery

2007-03-05 Thread jjw
I would like to add some type of carrier recovery to the GMSK demodulator in GNU Radio, however I am having a bit of trouble getting something implemented that works properly. I have tried using gr.costas_loop_cc to add a costas loop for carrier recovery, but I am not quite sure how to calculate

[Discuss-gnuradio] GMSK and Carrier Recovery

2007-01-29 Thread jjw
Hello all, I am doing some work with the GMSK demodulator block that is provided as part of GNU radio. I had been noticing some problems where sometimes the demodulator would not be able to lock on to the signal (generated with an agilent signal generator) properly and determined that the proble

[Discuss-gnuradio] Scalability

2006-07-31 Thread jjw
I have a few questions related to the scalability of GNU Radio. Any insight would be most appreciated. 1) I am unfamiliar with IPC, but understand how it could be useful to increase computing power. What would be the first step in setting it up to do distributed computing with GNU Radio? 2)

[Discuss-gnuradio] BasicRX frequency selectivity

2006-05-30 Thread jjw
Matt or anyone who knows, I know that the BasicRX is listed as being able to receive signals from 2-300+ MHz. However, when I input signals from 0-2 MHz I am still able to see them with the oscilloscope and fft plot. Could somebody let me know exactly what components are on the board that affec

[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Architecture

2006-05-01 Thread jjw
I have been digging through the code to try and understand the architecture that GNU Radio works on. From flow_graph.py I have come to the understanding that GNU radio creates and manages it's own memory buffering scheme. This would seem to make it difficult to expand the platform to work over m

[Discuss-gnuradio] Design FIR filters by number of taps

2006-04-18 Thread jjw
In looking at the tools for designing FIR filters, I see that you can do it by selecting cutoff frequencies and transition bandwidths. Is there a block already in existence that allows you to design an FIR filter based on cutoff frequency and maximum number of taps where the transition bandwidth

[Discuss-gnuradio] Questions on Tx path

2006-04-12 Thread jjw
I have been reading about how the Tx path works in the USRP and was slightly confused. I know that some of the interpolation is done in the FPGA and some of it is done in the DUCs on the external chips. Noting the following code from class usrp_standard_tx: /*! * \brief Set output mux con

I know this is probably an extremely stupid question, but I wanted to get some verification. I've noticed that the minimum decimation rate you can use in all of the sample programs is 4 (giving you an effective sampling rate of 16 MHz). If you are transmitting 1 real channel of data (16 bits) at
