[Discuss-gnuradio] usrp_fft.py questions

2005-04-19 Thread Anastasopoulos Achilleas
Now that I understand how the basic Tx and usrp_siggen works, I am trying to get a handle on the basic Rx and the usrp_fft.py script. Here are a couple of observations/questions: 1) If nothing is connected to the basic Rx I get a strong DC term on the fft display. Where is this coming from? Also

All, thanks for the feedback. I submit a revised version of the block diagram for your comments. I understand that the Tx part at the output of the FPGA is a valid (hopefully) functional block diagram but it is not how it is really implemented on the DAC chip. Achilleas usrp.eps Description: Post

Let me make sure I understand this: What exactly is happening in the FPGA on the Tx side? My guess is that there a CIC interpolator that takes the USB complex samples and interpolates them to a complex stream with 32Msps, ie, 64Msps (real). Is this accurate? Now assuming that {z_k} represents t

Cascaded Integrator Comb filters are pretty simple filters that are very fast to compute but produce those slow roll offs. There are more complex things that could be done and hopefully now that the USRP is really flowing out the door, daughtercards and all, and as we come up to speed, we can wo
