[Discuss-gnuradio] to prevent damages

hi, I've just been reading the thread about the broken RX board. some days ago I've just denied to one of my fellows the permission to connect an amplified HF antenna to the LFRX for fear it could overload the input...we used a passive half-wave (@ band centre) dipole instead. just to be sure

Oliver, You are right: Trellis implementation supports multi-dimensional constellations etc (through the metric calculation block abstraction, etc), however, in the examples and the supporting fsm_utils.py files I have not included support for GMSK, and the automatic generation of lookup tables

It might not be a bad idea for Ettus Research to also stock some other items such as SMA cables/adapters/attenuators. It might also be handy to have some nice block diagrams with max power recommendations and recommended attentuations for cabled setups as well as a table in the Wiki with such

Hi Eric. Thanks for your help. It all works exactly how you said. I was enabling the correct pins using usrp.source_c(0, 64) - the code I pasted usrp.sink_c(0, 64) was a blind copy-paste from Oussama's email. Sorry about the confusion. All I was missing was the u._write_oe(1, 0x,

The feedforward AGC system in DttSP is more complex in that it is two track (fast and user set). I believe I already mentioned this so I won't go over it again. But let me reiterate one important feature of our work. One of the things that was important to its success as a feedforward agc

Achilleas, Okay. I am primarily interested in the equalization for the time being, but I can see it would seem to make a lot of sense to create the sequence detection as well. In terms of making the isi lookup table for multidimensional modulations, whats the best way to go about it? Is there

I am working on an NTSC receiver using the USRP/TVRX board. I am tunning the board to 63.25 MHz with decimation set to 10; this gives me 6.4 MHz of bandwidth. The NTSC channel is 6 MHz wide so with these settings I get some interference from the adjacent channels. Is there a way to set the
