Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Announcing GNU Radio Release 3.0

2006-10-10 Thread John Gilmore
Once the signed binaries are on the GNU mirrors, should an
announcement email go out to the info-gnu@gnu.org mailing list?
Significant releases, like an X.0 release, should probably be
announced there.

Such a message should have a lot more about what GNU radio is capable
of, what it does well, and a lot less detail than the version that
went to our own hackers.  Plus describe the big changes since the 2.0
release...some time ago.  It'll be read mostly by people who don't use
GNU Radio yet, but who might want to know when to use it, sooner or later.

[Discuss-gnuradio] ReG - Building GNU Radio

2006-10-10 Thread shriram.vasudevan



Dear all,

 
I have downloaded and built the GNU radio source code release 3.0 (Minimal 
Build) on cygwin. The installation went without any error. But when i tryied to 
run the sample dial_tone.py, i didnt get any error but at the same time there 
was no dial tone sound at the output. So i checked that the "WAVE" source was 
enabled in the audio control panel as instructed, but still no output 
came.

Earlier when i was installing the wxpython 
module as stated in the page 

http://gnuradio.utah.edu/trac/wiki/wxPythonCygwin

all the steps went well, but when i tried to run 
the demo.py as indicated in the 13th step, I didnt get the output and no error 
was reported. I feel these two issues have a link and hence i tried the steps 
once again, but then got the same problem again.No Output and No error... 
Where could the problem be??

Solution to this problem could be very very 
helpful.
Thanks

 Are you sure you get enough input items for the general_work? try to

Also, why do you think you should be using general_work instead of
work?

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP Custom Filter Taps

 Thanks! I'll take a look.
 
  I read on a previous thread that it is possible to invert the spectrum of 
  the sampled signal so that the tuned frequency would be the FM carrier. 
  The end result being a stream from the USRP where 0 Hz is the center 
  frequency of the audio carrier the the video carrier is at 4.5 MHz. Is 
  this possible? The advantage here is that the base-band audio does not 
  need to be shifted before FM demodulation; also the video carrier does not 
  need to be shifted before demodulation (AM). 

 Not sure what you're looking for here.

 After thinking about it, I'm not sure either. I figured I can to
 tune to FM carrier to the center frequency (0Hz), set the decimation
 to 4 (16 MS) and the video carrier is at -4.5MHz. Unfortunately, my
 USB/computer can't handle can't handle the 16 MS rate. I was hoping
 to avoid translating the signal by placing the FM signal at
 0Hz. Since my PC can't handle that data rate, I'm just going to
 concentrate on the NTSC.

 As an aside: It would be nice to have something like the GC4014
 on-board the USRP. In my application it could be used to tune the
 video and audio signals on separate receiver channels without using
 up resources on the PC (and also reduce the need for a faster
 interface in some cases). Not sure if there's enough room on the
 FPGA though.

The cost of extracting and decimating the audio portion of the full
signal in s/w is pretty small.

Have you tried just setting decimation to 8 giving 8MS/s complex?  Why
are you concerned about anything at 16MS/s?  The 8 MS/s signal will have
both the audio and video in it.  A small amount of filtering would
separate the two streams in software.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Issue or even a problem with current release

2006-10-10 Thread Gregg Levine

Hello!
On a whim I decided to download the currently available release for
GNURadio. It complained that I needed the FFT package. I promptly
found it at its location and built it, and installed it. The configure
script still says that below my signature, even though I've moved
everything over to the /usr/lib location. Having never really worked
with pkg-config scripts, I am at a loss here.

checking for fftw3f = 3.0... Package fftw3f was not found in the
pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory
containing `fftw3f.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No
package 'fftw3f' found
configure: error: Library requirements (fftw3f = 3.0) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
