Hi Bijendra, I, too, am confused. So let's try to understand what you are doing here! On 10/10/2013 10:39 AM, Bijendra Singh wrote:
Well it is a project I'm working on. I am trying to receive an AM signal from HF radio
Yes, so receiving amplitude modulated audio on a carrier somewhere between 3MHz and 30Mhz (==HF)
which will be provided in the usrp source in my gnu
You want to capture that using a USRP and GNU Radio, I presume.
and will transmit a FM signal as output
Aaaaha! Second chain of operation! You want to simultaneously generate an FM signal
in the usrp sink which I'm trying to send it to the VHF radio.
And you want to transmit that using a USRP (the same USRP?) to another Radio receiver, that listens on a VHF carrier (30MHz-300MHz) then.
And vice versa.
Huh? Your radio receivers usually can't transmit, so that's confusing
I'm using CNR-900 VHF radio which freq range is 30 to 89.899 MHz and RS-HX radio which freq range is 3 to 30 MHz. When I tried the hf2vhf.grc file, it is working, but with noise. Same thing will be possible for VHF to Hf, I guess. And I'm stuck in this. Any possible remedies??
OOooooh ok... this is military communications, and I was under the impression we're talking broadcast Radio stations. I must try to reunderstand now: You're trying to set up a relay station, for someone with some kind of HF AM tactical radio to communicate with someone with a VHF FM tactical radio, right? Anyway, Martin is right: Whatever you do, AM will always be noisy because it's AM, and unless you use laaarge antennas the HF signal on the USRP will most probably be strongly attenuated (1/2 wavelength of 30MHz is 5m...). So your SNR gets even worse. Greetings, Marcus

A couple of things you might want to consider: - AM is per se noisy. A commercial HF receiver would also have much better filters than you can achieve with an LFRX-only setup, so expect much noise here - FM is much better with noise. - You're not supposed to rx AM signals with an FM receiver. - VHF and HF usually designate (separate) frequency ranges. So when talking about 'interoperability' between those, most people will be confused. Well, I am.
