Re: [USRP-users] E310/E312 Receive on all 4 inputs

Hi folks!

I am wondering if it is possible to receive on all 4 inputs at the 
same time on the E310/E312? I.e. is it possible to receive on TRX A, 
RX A, TRX B, RX B all at the same time? I tried creating a GNU Radio 
flowchart with this setup and got the following Runtime Error:


thread[thread-per-block[16]: ]: RuntimeError: 
On node 0/Radio_0, output port 0 is already connected.


I received the same error when trying to receive on three inputs 
instead, and the program defaulted to receiving on RX A and RX B instead.


Thank you.

NO.

There are only two receiver channels, and those channels can either be 
connected (in the analog sense) to TRX or RX antenna connectors, but 
there really

  are only two receiver channels.

The total gain-control range on the B2xx family is larger (80dB) than on 
the cards used on X3xxx, N2xx, etc (typically 30.5dB)


Try larger gain values on the B210, like 40 or 50dB.

[USRP-users] USRP B210 TX-Issues

2018-02-09 Thread Jonathan B via USRP-users
Hi everyone,

I seem to be having issues with the B210 transmitting at an incredibly low
power.

I seem to be getting a 60db difference at the receiver (spectrum analyzer)
between the B210 and N210 with perfectly identically configured
transmissions using the simple uhd "tx_waveform" example program.

Has anyone experienced such an issue. I have two B210s that seem to be
acting the same way.

Thanks in advance.

Jonathan

[USRP-users] Bandpass filters

2018-02-09 Thread Mathieu Petitjean via USRP-users
Hi everyone,

As a very newbie with SDRs, I want to use an USRP to listen to two
different, but close frequencies and distinguish them (the frequencies
are not fixed yet). I would like to implement two bandpass filters and
look at the output of both filters, but I am not sure how to proceed. Is
it feasible using the UHD C++ libraries ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Re: [USRP-users] "Additional signa"l after a packet transmission

2018-02-09 Thread NAVES Raphael via USRP-users

Hello,

For more details, please find attached the received signal in the time 
domain. Clearly after the end of the packet, the signal takes a certain 
time to come back to "the ambient noise". If I zoom, I notice there is 
still some noise 40ms after the packet. It can disturb the reception of 
the following packet if its power is less than this additional noise.


What do you suggest to cancel it ? I'm using the USRP sink/source 
blocks from gnuradio for the transmission/reception parts.


Best,

Raphaël

Hello Dan,

Thanks for your answer. I'm using for transmitting the traditional
USRP sink block provided by Gnuradio Companion. Each packet coming to
this block is tagged with its length at the first sample. For the
receiving part, I'm using the USRP source block. Both are used with
basic parameters.

Do you think I should modify/use different parameters for these 
blocks ?

Hello Rafael,

Are you sure the transmitter has stopped radiating immediately after 
the

end of a packet?  The power amplifier on the transmitter may take a
small amount of time to go from powered up to powered down, although 
40

milliseconds may be excessive.

Do you have a writeup and/or code for your burst transmission system
(transmitter and receiver), that perhaps others may be able to 
duplicate

the issue?


Regards,
Dan

Hello everyone,

I implemented a burst transmission between two USRP N210. The
transmission and the packet receiving works well, however I'm 
facing the

following problem. From the reception side, I notice that after the
packet receiving, the sampling signal does not come back to the 
ambient
noise immediatly. It takes few milliseconds (about 40 ms) to come 
back
to "0". It's like if there is still a signal transmitted after the 
real
packet transmission. It may be a problem when you want to receive 
many

consecutive packets with few space between them

 I suppose that it comes from an hardware problem when the signal 
is put
on the baseband ? Does that deal with the LO leakage ? What can we 
do to

avoid this additional signal ?

Thanks,


Raphaël
