Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Galileo (EuroGPS) cracked

2006-07-19 Thread Brent M. Ledvina
Cracking the code actually wasn't that hard to do. The part that was challenging for the Cornell group is that they used a simple omni-directional patch antenna, as opposed to a high-gain dish antenna. When you use the latter, codeless/semi-codeless acquisition is easier because the interfering GPS

[Discuss-gnuradio] FPGA/FX2 interface

2006-07-19 Thread Oussama Sekkat
Hi Matt,I am looking at the USRP FPGA/FX2 interface schematics. I see that there are different modules such as U412 and U101. Is there any documentation I could read about the role of those modules. I am basically trying to figure out how the data is sent from the Cypress FX2 to the usrp_std.v modu

Members of Cornell's Global Positioning System (GPS) Laboratory have cracked the so-called pseudo random number (PRN) codes of Europe's first global navigation satellite, despite efforts to keep the codes secret. That means free access for consumers who use navigation devices -- including handheld

[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Scalability

2006-07-19 Thread jjw
I have a few questions related to the scalability of GNU Radio. Any insight would be most appreciated. 1) I am unfamiliar with IPC, but understand how it could be useful to increase computing power. What would be the first step in setting it up to do distributed computing with GNU Radio? 2)
