Hello all i am looking at gmsk again. i had two questions come up. 1) does clock recovery normally take place after fm demod? 2) what clock recovery algo would one normally find in a receiver like a GSM receiver? thanks jeff ___ Discuss-gnuradio mai

[Discuss-gnuradio] transmitting with 4 antennas

I am part of the Hydra group at UT Austin (http://hydra.ece.utexas.edu). We have developed a MIMO prototype utilizing GNU Radio & the USRP board. The physical layer for our design is based on the draft standard for IEEE 802.11n. Our current system is designed to support 2 antennas (i.e. utilizing o

Max, it seems like this transmission scheme can be modeled using a finite state machine (fsm). Take a look at the gr_trellis section of gnuradio. There you can find an abstract class to define fsm's and to encode/decode their inputs/outputs. Achilleas Max Moser wrote: Sorry for that, shure i
