[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-buffer usage

2007-07-18 Thread Vincenzo Pellegrini
hi, can anyone point me towards some example code using gr-buffer? I need to read a sample stream from HD (not very fast..) and afterwards re send it towards the usrp significantly faster (8complex Msps). is gr-buffer a good candidate to do this? thanks -- Vincenzo Pellegrini

Hi Kshitij, I am considering the channel estimation by pilot. So, it may very like what you want. Could you give more detail what is your target? Is there any one have experience on the real time channel estimation (with pilot) on GNU Radio? 2007/7/18, David Scaperoth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On J

Ok, that makes sense. Looking back at this site (http://www.nd.edu/~jnl/sdr/docs/tutorials/4.html#tth_sEc2.1) I see that the DDC is combining the I and Q inputs to do complex multiplication. I originally thought it was multiplying the I and Q components separately, so that no input to Q would me

The BasicRX daughterboard doesn't do anything signal processing, with the exception of passing the signal through some transformers. It has two separate I and Q inputs, which are passed down to the USRP, where all the signal processing is actually done. -Roshan Ian Larsen wrote: Thank you, t

Hi, did somebody try to use gnuradio for receiving DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale)? It seems to me that neither M-QAM demodulation nor the apropriate audio codec is presently implemented in gnuradio, however, the DRM program "dream" has an option --fileio, which should be able to replace the sound c
