[Discuss-gnuradio] anyone have success with USRP2 @ 20MHz to the host cleanly?

2009-11-22 Thread George Nychis
Hi all, Has anyone here had any success with receiving 16-bit samples from the USRP2 @ 20MHz to the host without an onslaught of overruns? I did some searching on the list and some people suggested a RAID configuration, but this is my poor little laptop. Just wanted to get a general consensus.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Is RFX900 simultaneous transmit and receive funtion possible?

2009-11-22 Thread Rushikesh Khasgiwale
Hi all, I used the usrp1 for implementing a UHF gen2 reader(not the entire functionality though). I have used a single board at the same frequency without any problem. RFX900 has 2 antenna ports TX/RX and rx2 so tx and rx antennas can be connected simultaneously. However I found a major

Thanks for the suggestions! I am digging the ramdisk idea... unfortunately the laptop only has 1G of memory, but I can still get a hardy 10 second trace out of it :) I liked the compression idea, Dan. I wonder if we can get something that can keep up with the data rate. It seems like a

If latency and RAM usage is not an issue, increase the ethernet packet_ring buffer (I'm normally using from 0.5 to 1 GB). I wrote a patch some while ago and I think it is now in gnuradio, but I'm not sure if it is in the python interface. This will probably help you closer to the long term average

2009-11-22 Thread George Nychis
One more thing... if I take a look at the constellations between the using the old filter and the new filter, they're different. I'm not much of a communications person... so maybe someone can enlighten me here :) But, this is DPSK or DBPSK... I imagined there would be two definitive

If those are the post-spread samples, then I think that makes sense. The barker spreading code randomizes(appears) everything. Have you tried decorrelating with the matched filter? If that results in two tight constellations then all is good. On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 10:26 PM, George Nychis

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Comparison between GNU Radio and FlexRadio

For HF work, FlexRadio has a nice line of HF hardware and they provide the PowerSDR software that goes with it. It's possible to talk to their hardware (last time I checked) using other software. Yes, I'm currently steering towards a FlexRadio running custom DttSP (or perhaps GNU Radio)

Also, a couple more questions about the USRP daughterboards (showing my radio ignorance here!): The BasicRX (from the schematics) looks like it's just a transformer and a 300MHz low-pass filter. Is the transformer for impedance matching, or does it serve other purposes as well? All the
