The effective noise bandwidth is part of the calculation. I'm using the radar range equation. My purpose for including the bandwidth in my response was that any time I try to use a filter with a frequency greater than my sampling rate/2 I get an error returned. I agree that ideally I would use a

I'm sampling an incoming signal, but only around 2 MSps. I need the signal power to noise power ratio at the receiver as part of my range calculation. So I would need to be able to distinguish between the power of the tone vs the power of the surrounding noise and use those two numerical values

But you're sampling something, or else you couldn't process this in GNU Radio. So, I'm a bit confused about what you're actually doing. On 25/06/2020 20.48, Alex Batts wrote: Sorry, I'm new to the mailing list as well. How would you recommend isolating the tone power? A band pass filter

Sorry, I'm new to the mailing list as well. How would you recommend isolating the tone power? A band pass filter wouldn't work at that frequency since there isn't an SDR that can sample that high. Would that be where the Phase Locked Loop comes into play? Thank you for your help to this point,

Yes, you're right: 2000 samples is too much. I made measurements with different numbers of samples (2, 500 and 2000) because I was afraid a very slow number (e.g. 2) could cause aliasing in the base-band. Regarding the offset, it is indeed constant and for experimentation. I had not realized

Hi Jeff, Thank you for the replies. Do you mean that the sample rate for RRC taps should be 32 instead of nfilts? I've set nfilts as a variable with the value of 32. Regarding the deprecated packet encoder block, I've searched up a bit but could not find much information on replacing the block.
