[Discuss-gnuradio] TPB scheduler fills block buffers

2010-11-29 Thread antonb
Hi, I am writing an application for which I want to keep the latency to a minimum, and this involves trying to keep the buffers between the blocks as empty as possible. Basically, I have a source block with an element size of 512 bytes that accepts data through a public member function. If there

Hello: I have a USRP2 board and a WBX daughterboard. I am trying to implement a scheme where a single-tone sine wave (at frequencies between 1 kHz and 10 kHz) is transmitted intermittently. Specifically, time is divided into intervals, defined by the user on the command line, typically of

Eric, In my experiments, I had one transmitter and one receiver, which used tunnel.py for communicating with each other. Occasionally, I got the problem that one radio stopped receiving, but could still transmit. I used TX and RX printings to observe this behavior. In the receiving path,

Think of the on/off part as a control stream consisting of 1's and 0's. Generate the control stream, and multiple the control stream by the carrier stream. Don't try to start and stop the graph or anything like that from python. You can probably generate the control stream with a

Yes, LO leakage, more specifically DC imbalance in the I and Q channels; I assume you are using a daughter board with an IQ modulator? This is supposedly corrected for in the firmware, however, probably not done over temperature. You can probably tweak it by adding/subtracting a few LSB of DC

What would be the best way to work with a 32 MHz band resulting from USRP2? I guess, since the minimum decimation rate is 4 (resulting in a 25 MHz signal band), some kind of interpolation will be required or maybe resampling?! Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks in advance! Vlad. -- View this
