Hi all.
I am looking at the possibility of integrating Labview into GNURadio to
demodulate FM. Has anyone out there looked into this?? What I am hoping is
that labview will be able to read the complex stream from the USRP via the
USB port.
What I need to know is
1) Once the IF frequency etc is uploaded, does the USRP try to send a
continuous stream if data regardless of whether the the python program is
running on the PC?? Or is there 2 way communication that deals with buffer
over/under run etc?? (I may have to unplug the usb and replug into a windows
machine until i get a linux version of labview )
2) Is there any easy way of accessing the data stream, and what format does
it have. I have read that it sends 16 bit I then 16 bit Q, but is there a
frame setup to indicate the start/end of each I and Q word?? From what I
understand, the data is sent using bulk. I am yet to look up the USB2.0
specification to see the format of bulk packets.
Essentially I'm hoping I can design a driver to read the data coming over
USB, recover the I & Q and finally demodulate the signal.
I am not even sure if this is possible. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards Paul
