[Discuss-gnuradio] FOSDEM/SDR Track: Final Schedule Announced

Dear friends and fellow SDR enthusiasts, please note the final SDR track schedule is available through the FOSDEM website: https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/track/software_defined_radio/ All talks will be recorded and made publically available several weeks after FOSDEM. FOSDEM is in Brussels,

En, Ah! Sitting and playing with it greatly helped my understanding of the problem. 1. Your capture seems to have some distortion on it. Fortunately, this doesn't affect FM too bad, but you may want to crank your gain back. 2. Remember, Bell 202 uses 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz. You probably don't want

Hi all, I want to build a real tx and rx system using gmsk with usrp and gnuradio. How to choose a suitable fec method for my system. Is there any useful demo or tutorial for me? Thanks. Franklin 张苏 (+86)18705191872 17715261872 地址 江苏南京玄武区钟灵街48号94栋1单元602

2015-12-28 Thread Marcus Müller
Hello Franklin, the choice of appropriate FEC depends *exclusively* on how you want the system to behave, and how you model your transmission, especially with respect to noise. For example, for low-SNR situation, using channel coding actually makes BER worse, so you might even be better off

I'll discuss a bit of passive RFID at FOSDEM ... I think there are two parts to the question: detecting RFID measurement attempts on the one hand, and decoding the backscattered signal on the other hand. Detecting RFID is, imho, obvious: because the backscattered signal decays as 1/d^6 for an

[Discuss-gnuradio] VFO tuning knobs

2015-12-28 Thread Daniel Pocock
I realize that SDR provides more than one way to view the spectrum and tune to a frequency, but I can imagine some people feeling comfortable with a tuning knob similar to a traditional radio. There doesn't appear to be any technical reason why a VFO knob could not be part of an SDR application.

Lots of people are building their own with a microcontroller and some kind of rotary encoder. One super easy way is to use the teensy arudino clone (or similar) since they already have libraries for USB HID so you can make your scroll wheel act like a mouse scroll wheel. Rotary encoders exist in

Ekko, Add a Tag debug block after your packet encoder and see if there are any tags coming out of it. I think packet encoder is not passing your tag. If that is the case, move your stream to tagged stream block after the packet encoder just before the FEC extended tagged encoder. Hope it helps.
