Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] trouble with gr_multiply_const_ff

lan I have done some research work. The input values of uhd should be -1=x1, and the gr_multiply_const_ff block has set the default amplitude to 1, so this block seems useless. The only way I found to scale the power of signal we transmit is to enhance the gain of usrp_sink. However, we use

Tom, Value of the signal after the multiply_const block is amplitude, We set the amplitude as much as 5000 to increase the transmit power of signal is an advice from the developer of gen2_reader project Michael Buettner, so it would be ok. You said that the UHD transmitter takes signal samples

Marcus, Thanks for your advice and we do use the very old code exactly. Would you please elaborate the backing things off things because I can't your point of it. Best Lee -- View this message in context: http://gnuradio.4.n7.nabble.com/trouble-with-gr-multiply-const-ff-tp45018p45039.html

Lee, What Marcus and Tom are telling you is that when a signal reaches a USRP Sink in GNURadio it is transformed into an integer representation that is weighted so that the integers represent values -1 = x 1. Input values with magnitudes larger than these will be saturated to these limits,

Hi Marcus, Thanks for your attention. I have upload a bigger size image below. the x axis is sampling point which reflects time and the y axis is margin which reflects the power. I plot the image from the rx block of the gen2_reader project. The signal is transmitted by the tx block of

Hi all, I'm working on the gen2_reader project and got some trouble with the amp block. We use the gr_multiply_const_ff to amplify the power of signal. amp = gr.multiply_const_ff(amplitude) tx = uhd.usrp_sink(options.args,uhd.io_type.COMPLEX_FLOAT32, num_channels=1,)

Hi Lee, I don't quite understand what these images show, and they're too small to read the axes. Could you elaborate on where you take them from? Is the input data the same? Whitout guarantee, I'd assume that multiply_const_ff works quite well, and that the problem is somewhere else. What
