Copy that. Would a preamble with better properties like a gold code allow to raise that threshold? I guess I need to dig into what that threshold means. On the examples I’ve seen it’s always 0.9 or higher. On Monday, June 29, 2020, Andy Walls wrote: > On Sun, 2020-06-28 at 16:31 -0500, A

Andy, I’m not sure how integrate the correlation sync block with gmsk. It expects modulated symbols and I’m not sure how to generate a modulated vector of gmsk symbols. There doesn’t seem to be a gmsk class that can be used by the modulate vector block. Thanks, Alex On Thursday, June 25, 2020,

Very low speed burst PSK

I have a need for a very low speed < 20 bits/second transmitter and receiver pair. I've worked something based off the packet tx and packet rx examples, added in a modified DVB - Reed solomon instance that operates on nibbles at a time instead of bytes, and got it mostly working. My main

Quenten, Have you looked at any of the gr-dtv examples? Instead of pulling into GRC with UDP, you could pull the video stream and convert to mpeg-TS with either gstreamer or ffmpeg and stream it to a fifo file. The gr-dtv examples are great for reading in TS files and broadcasting. I've done this

[Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM with continuous pilots but bursty data

I'm playing around with an OFDM transmit/receive chain. I've noticed that if I get underruns at a high enough rate, it becomes a bursty system and the receiver is unable to lock in and no longer demodulates the symbols. Would it be possible to generate continuous pilot tones or send OFDM frames

I'd like to monitor an internal variable on a DSP block. have not made a custom block before but have read through some tutorials. Since the DSP inputs and outputs are vectors, and the variable is a single item whose value is dependent on the processing of the vector, the number of outputs does
