Hi Mr. Mclernon,
                        Thanks for your feedback. Actually in our older
system, we used to have a Hetrodyne analog receiver to demodulate the FSK
(PCM-FM modulated) signal. The o/p of analog receiver then used to drive an
off the shelf bit synchronizer to account for timing jitter and generated
clean output NRZ-L signal. However, in Simulink-USRP case, it seems that we
need to have a timing jitter correction block before FSK demodulation
function.

There is a timing error detector along with PLL in the QPSK receiver
example. Pls suggest whether we could use the same block or we need to
modify it for FSK operation.

Also if someone at the forum could please suggest an easy to understand
timing recovery tutorial document explaining
how to achieve it in Simulink.

Regards,
Adeel Malik

Hi Adeel,

The timing error detector in the QPSK receiver example is tuned for QPSK - you 
would not be able to use it for FSK.

A little googling yielded this paper on FSK symbol synchronization -- 
http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1246&context=eeng_fac.
  This technique is for an underwater acoustic channel, which is notoriously 
bad.  Thus, you may not need to use a scheme as robust as the one described in 
the paper.  However, it should serve as a reasonable starting point.

Hth,
Mike

Hi Adeel,

You will need timing recovery so that the demodulator's integration starts at 
the beginning of a symbol and ends at the end of the same symbol.  If your 
system experiences doppler and timing jitter, a timing recovery subsystem will 
be all the more necessary.

The timing recovery should occur before the FSK demodulation.

Hi Mr. Braun,
                   Thanks for your reply. I have already read about the FSK 
demodulation functions provided by simulink both for coherent and non-coherent 
FSK modulation. However, I am bit uncertain whether I need to include any 
Timing / Symbol recovery functionality also at the output stage of FSK 
demodulation block (to account for doppler shift in frequencies and timing 
jitter when modulating data is about 1 Mbps) ?

If you could suggest how to add a 'symbol timing jitter compensation 
functionality' to the output of FSK demodulated data, it would be advantageous.

Hi,

Yes, I see a spike at every multiple of the master clock frequency (i,e.
2.3GHz, 2.4GHz, 2.5GHz, etc). I guess this explains it. Thanks a lot.

Subject: [USRP-users] USRP B210: Filter Settings
Message-ID:
        <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

All,

I'm having an issue with aliasing on the USRP B210.  It seems that this issue 
is only present at a sample rate of 16 MHz.  The other tested rates (4 MHz, 8 
MHz, 32 MHz) don't exhibit this issue.  It seems as though the filters in the 
AD9361 are potentially being bypassed or not set correctly based on the desired 
sampling rate.

To test, we input a CW at a known frequency and tuned our device.  As expected 
we noticed a spike at the correct frequency.  As we swept the CW outside of our 
band of interest, we see it start to alias back into the band at virtually the 
same power level.  We don't see this issue at the other rates.  Depending on 
the nulls and sidelobes of the filters, we do occasionally see an alias of the 
tone, but it is at least 40 dB below our tone.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior?   How are the filters in the AD9361 
set based on the sample rate?

I'd be happy to provide some screenshots and additional data to help track down 
this issue.

Thanks,
Peter Knee

A colleague and I were sending out simple signals from the USRP with GNU
Radio to our spectrum analyzer through SMA cables rated for RF use.

Basically, two cosine signals of the same amplitude (0.4) at 1 MHz and 3
MHz, added together and transmitted at 1 GHz from a USRP N210 with WBX
daughterboard (see usrp_tone.png for flow graph). The sampling rate was the
same for all blocks, 25 MS/s. The systctl -w net.core.rmem_max=50000000 was
set ahead of time and no grc prompt came up about it for this run. No U's
or any other character codes when running. The USRP sink block is at max
gain, 20 dB.

The issue we are having as the other image attached shows, is we have our
two signals and a lot run off spurs showing up on our Spectrum Analyzer.
These spurs have a reduced amplitude of over -30 dBm in comparison to our
two cosine signals which are around 0.76 dBm.

I am not nearly as experienced as my colleague is but he is as stumped as
much as I am concerning this. Has anyone encountered an issue like this
before?

Thanks,

Jon

Does the amplitude of the spurs follow the aggregate amplitude of your 
two modulating signals?  Try backing them off to 0.3 and see what happens.

Could just be that you're driving the mixer a little too hard.

Hi Ben,
   Thanks. But I found out the IQ calibration is NOT always on.
 The switching frequency trick that Simon Pack pointed out (

works. Any clue why?

Thanks,

I will summarize the steps how I did it

1) I went to the host folder of the USRP code directory and made a new
folder build
2) opened cmake gui (working on windows 7) included the path of host and
.host/build
3) Selected Microsoft Visual studio 11 in the drop down menu that comes
after configure.
4) I followed the following steps as listed in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2013-08/msg00284.html

                Make sure the *Advanced* checkbox is ticked. Click on
*Configure*, select                     Visual Studio 2010 *Win64* as
generator and set:

   - *BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK* must be checked
      - *Boost_INCLUDE_DIR* to *C:/src/boost_1_53_0*
      - *CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES* to
      *Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo*
      - *CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX* to *gnuradio-portable*
      - *RST2HTML_EXECUTABLE* to *C:/Python27/Scripts/rst2html.py*

  It did not ask for LIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIRS, while in the site it was
mentioned I need to give the path for libusb.h in the following way -:


   - *LIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIRS* to *C:/src/libusb-1.0.9/libusb*
   - if 32-bit: *LIBUSB_LIBRARIES* to
   
*optimized;C:/src/libusb-1.0.9/Win32/Release/dll/libusb-1.0.lib;debug;C:/src/libusb-1.0.9/Win32/Debug/dll/libusb-1.0.lib*
   - if 64-bit: *LIBUSB_LIBRARIES* to
   
*optimized;C:/src/libusb-1.0.9/x64/Release/dll/libusb-1.0.lib;debug;C:/src/libusb-1.0.9/x64/Debug/dll/libusb-1.0.lib*

  I did not get any error in the configuration step.Configuration done,
then generate done,

5) I check the build folder, This consists of a lot of project file. I am
not sure which one is the one to use.None of the project files contains any
c or cpp codes.

6) I have pasted the transcript below , 2 things I am not sure a) Could NOT
find Boost.
  b) # UHD disabled components

Did you try using an external attenuator? Maybe the analyzer is overdriven.

Subject: [USRP-users] USRP N210 Spurious Signal

 

A colleague and I were sending out simple signals from the USRP with GNU
Radio to our spectrum analyzer through SMA cables rated for RF use. 

 

Basically, two cosine signals of the same amplitude (0.4) at 1 MHz and 3
MHz, added together and transmitted at 1 GHz from a USRP N210 with WBX
daughterboard (see usrp_tone.png for flow graph). The sampling rate was the
same for all blocks, 25 MS/s. The systctl -w net.core.rmem_max=50000000 was
set ahead of time and no grc prompt came up about it for this run. No U's or
any other character codes when running. The USRP sink block is at max gain,
20 dB.

 

The issue we are having as the other image attached shows, is we have our
two signals and a lot run off spurs showing up on our Spectrum Analyzer.
These spurs have a reduced amplitude of over -30 dBm in comparison to our
two cosine signals which are around 0.76 dBm.

 

I am not nearly as experienced as my colleague is but he is as stumped as
much as I am concerning this. Has anyone encountered an issue like this
before?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

Hi Bhaskar,

looking at the output of your CMake run, you're missing two dependencies:
1. Boost! You need to set the include directories to include boost.
>> Configuring Boost C++ Libraries... Could NOT find Boost
2. Cheetah:
>> Python checking for Cheetah templates 2.0.0 or greater - "import
Cheetah"
>> failed

Since you're missing dependencies, building the actual libUHD failed.
>> Disabling LibUHD support.

Fix the missing dependencies, and things should start working :)

Greetings,
Marcus

I have used both the Agilent internal attenuator for the
standalone analyzer and an external for when I followed Marcus' advice on
reduced signal amplitude and feed into another USRP to use GNU Radio's
Visual FFT (the analyzer was in use by another).

Marcus has recommended that I turn the gain down, so I will try that next,
although I am tempted to also use an external attenuator on the spectrum
analyzer.

Thanks,

Jon
