Noise shouldn't cause false triggers, but if you increase the gain you might see more artefacts (e.g. more DC offset), which will cause false triggers. You can run the block through simulation and see how it behaves. Cheers, Martin On 01/11/2016 11:50 PM, David Halls wrote: > Hi guys, > > >

Hi Jean-Michel and List: As promised here is my RDS reception flowgraph. It is based on a USRP device (I have a B200) so you may want to swap that for whatever device you are using. I’ll leave it to you to develop the decoding program. Mine is written in C, but you can use whatever you want.

Hi Johannes Thanks for your swift reply. By samples do you mean a recorded iq sample? I know they can get quite large, but instead you could provide a script that uses eg openLTE to create sample data that you know works? LTE is a lot more complicated than GSM by the looks of it. All I need to do

Hi guys, Happy New Year to everyone. We are using a flow graph based on the OFDM example in GR, including the Schmidl and Cox detector block. Having spread the USRPs out over our test environment we have increased the receiver gain significantly (to about 30dB). (N210 XCVR240 @ 1MS/s, 2.4GHz)

Thanks for the answers. All sampling rates are in the 1.5-2.5 MHz range, namely 11025*128=1.4112 MHz when decoding POCSAG, or 48000*32=1.536 MHz when decoding commercial FM (for these trivial tests). The issue about synchronization only arises when an audio sink is used: sending the data to a name

It's hardly a trivial report; RTL devices with gr-osmosdr are a very commonly used platform. I've seen similar messages from gqrx, but sound quality has not been impacted. My guess is that this may be related to rapid retuning for rtl devices, which basically involves not waiting for the PLL to lo

Hi Jawad, look at the query_gpsdo_sensors example; we recently (3.9.2) overhauled that to show how to portably and reliably set the device time to GPS time. The point is that "set_time_source" is a bit of a misleading name: it actually sets the timing *pulse* source, i.e. where the USRP gets its
