What is the reason for using a Weaver

in an SDR?
Is it faster than an Hilbert
transformer?

Hi Thomas - no reason other than it's the only thing I've gotten to work so far ;) I tried a phasing demodulator and ran into some problems, likely from not understanding how to use the hilbert transform gr.hilbert_fc(). Putting together a weaver graph actually worked, and after combining a few parts into gr.freq_xlating_fir_filter_xxx() it really became effecient enough to use, plus sounds good. Turning to transmitting, I just took what's working so far and turned it around. Other strategies will likely work much better. The above script does work, but is very inefficient as I can't (or don't know how to) combine the rf mixers and filters and decimators, or interpolators in the transmitting case, into one processing block like in the demodulator.

An instructive app note:

I'll  try your script out shortly.
