I'm not sure about its state w.r.t. no longer using pyqwt. Maybe > that's a place to start. Recently Edward Kigwana worked on porting the filter design tool from PyQwt to PyQtGraph. Unfortunately he wasn't able to finish up porting everything over, so now the filter design tool is half done. The results (in one squashed commit, rebased on GNU Radio master) can be found here [0]. Despite the lacking features the plotting and filter tap generation are still working. I will submit the current progress as pull request and maybe we can even merge it so you have a good starting point. I have no objections if you want to redo the PyQwt to PyQtGraph porting yourself. But since there has been some work in progress I want to make sure y'all to know about it.

Anirban, one important thing to keep in mind is that you have about 3 months of coding time; students often overestimate what they can achieve in that timeframe. So, a very important part of writing a proposal is having a good and realistic idea of what you can achieve. Have a solid base-level goal, and then add stretch goals. Make it so that you will finish the base-level goal with a 95% confidence within the given timeframe, and then add some stretch goals such that the last stretch goal will be completed with a 5-10% probability. Applying this to the filter design tool: Go run the current filter design tool with the latest 3.8 branch. You will immediately find that certain things don't work well, who knows if the tool works at all. First step would thus be to polish the tool and clean it up, modernize it. I'm not sure about its state w.r.t. no longer using pyqwt. Maybe that's a place to start. Then, take a look at its extensibility. Last time I checked, it couldn't generate half-band filters, for example. Instead of just adding those, though, think about how the tool could be written that adding filter types is trivial. -- M signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

Hi Felix, Marcus, I apologise for my delayed reply. I have meanwhile gone through most of the tutorials on the GNU Radio website. I am interested in the Filter Design Tool Enhancements. As suggested by Felix, I would be obliged if you could provide me with more information on the possible outcomes of the project, Marcus, and how I need to approach, and begin working on it.

Hi Anirban, first of all - welcome to the GNU Radio community! I'm happy you're interested in contributing! About your question: I think Marcus wants to make the tool more user-friendly in a way that it assumes less knowledge about the actual filter design process by having intelligent default choices as well as a better integration into GRC. But I'm sure he can give you more information on that. Cheers, Felix Von: Discuss-gnuradio im Auftrag von Anirban Banik Gesendet: Dienstag, 5.
