Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] PSK Real Time Voice Tx/Rx

Indeed, don't use a throttle block for anything other than a simulation not involving hardware.
What sample-rate are you using, and are you getting overrun or underrun indications ('O' or 'U' printed).

Hello, I am working on a real time voice Tx/Rx using GNU Radio as software and a USRP E110. I'm trying to do a QPSK Modulation and I have consulted several models and forums and it seems everything is okay, however at the moment of receiving signal, the audio on the receiver is breaking up, and I want the audio sounds good. I thought it might be because of some errors in synchronism and carrier recovery, so I added the block MPSK Reciever, without any changes in the audio output. Is anything I am missing? or Is any calculation or number wrong?

Could it be because of lack in processing? because I've tried the same model with GMSK mod/demod blocks and the voice sounds good. I've attached the flowgraphs of the Tx and Rx side for a better understanding.

I really appreciate your help and I look forward your reply.

P.S. I've also read that at the moment of involving blocks that work with hardware (USRP Sink/Source) I have to skip the Throttle blocks, is that true?

Do you see any O/U's from the flowgraphs? If so which flowgraph?

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm using 16kHz in Audio sample-rate and 
256kHz in USRP sink/source blocks.
Also I've noticed that when I change the config.d values in the files 
from the gnuradio folder there's a variation in the breaking up voice 
in the receiver's side.


In the transmitter's side I get U constantly and in the 
receiver's side i get UaUaUaUa  I know that it means Underrun and 
Audio Underrun, but I still don't have any idea of what I'm doing wrong.


I've attached the flowgraphs of the Tx and Rx models.

Marqo.


Those U mean that your graph isn't able to to keep up with the 
notional sample-rate, either because of computational sluggishness, or 
because you aren't resampling appropriately within your flow-graph so 
that the hardware is receiving samples at the correct rate.
