Hi Tom, This is very old topic. I have read a DSP book. But I find that I still not very understand channelizer. Why in channelizer use low pass filter, in my imagine channelizer will use band pass filter to filter each channel like that: 600Mhz baseband signal have 4 channel each channel have 100K

Thanks Tom. if I really don't know how pfb_channelizer_ccf and pfb_decimator_ccf do, but they seem use the same principle. And how to set the taps? On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Tom Rondeau wrote: > On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 1:19 AM, James Jordan > wrote: > > Hi Martin, > > pfb_channelizer_ccf

Hi Martin, pfb_channelizer_ccf will seperate all channels, But I dont need each channel. I only need the channel I am interested in. Seperating all channels will eat a lot of CPU resource. I have check pfb_channelizer_ccf source, it finally use fftw to process channelizer. So can I directly use fft

Short answer: you can go as wide as your CPU will handle. If you only need a few channels but they're separated by a few MHz, use the frequency xlating filters to bring each channel to baseband. If you have a regularly-spaced band, use the channelizer. --n On Tue, 2010-12-21 at 14:10 -0500, Walk

Hi all, I need to receive many narrowband signals, but usrp hard ware only provide 4 RX, so I need to receive more than one narrowband signals per RX. Is my idea possible? I dont want to use more than one usrp to achieve that, anyway which will be an option if my first idea can't work.
