Hi Rene, If you execute the benchmark_rx.py file with the following command: python benchmark_rx.py --help
Then you will see that under "modulations" it says "dbpsk". The demodulator itself is implemented somewhere else. You can find all the different demodulation blocks in: gnuradio-core/src/python/gnuradio/blks2impl. Here, you will find a file called "dbpsk.py". As was mentioned earlier, to make DBPSK into BPSK, just remove the "self.diffenc", the differential decoder, from the connect method. Now, even with this modification, you will most likely not be able to communicate with your satellite. You will have to know a lot of details on the communication protocol your satellite uses, packet framing, etc., in addition to the right hardware and daughterboards. Note that eventually, you will have to modify your GNU Radio installation. Thus, it is almost impossible to evade knowing how to code and to understand the working of GNU Radio. Just searching for "BPSK" in files won't help you further... Cheers, Thomas On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 1:46 AM, René Fléron <r...@space.dtu.dk> wrote: > > DBPSK is differential BPSK.
