Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Channel Sounding @ 5 GHz

I'm not an expert on the matter, but I suspect that the XCVR2450 board requires some sort of command to select the 5GHz band, which would need to be implemented in the sounder's FPGA code. At a chip rate of 32MHz, you have a resolution of 3e8/32e6 meters. The length of the PN sequence determines

Correlation doesn't always return real numbers, only if its the correlation of the same the PN sequence(including phase). The received signal could have a phase shift, complex numbers are needed. On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Jordan J Riggs jjrigg...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not an expert on

Johnathan, Thanks for the clarifications. I've been using a Costas loop for synchronization, which more or less eliminates the imaginary part of the correlation. Is this how you would do things? Jordan On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Johnathan Corgan jcor...@corganenterprises.com wrote: On

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to use the channel sounder (gr-sounder) with the XCVR d'boards at 5 GHz. I gave it a try, but the channel impulse responses only popped up +-1s and zeros. Well, I wasn't expecting it to work since the XCVR is not mentioned in the README, but can it be tweaked?
