[Discuss-gnuradio] Decoding digital data with imperfect timing - what am I missing?

2016-01-30 Thread Stanisław Pitucha
Hi all, I'm receiving an FSK-modulated signal with symbols 1.95-2.0 ms long. The signal starts with a long preamble of 1/0 alternating. This gives me ~97 samples per symbol, which I guess is more than enough for that small variation in length. But whatever I tried so far (own clock_recovery_mm, gf

Hi Michael, I'm just jumping in to advertise a GRC feature: if you use the "screenshot" menu item (identical to the printer button in the tool bar), you get a png of your canvas, rather than a picture of your UI and everything. Best regards, Marcus On 01/30/2016 05:50 PM, Michael Sabino wrote: >

Michael, I haven't seen your flowgraph, but as I wrote in my previous email you are using the fsm constructor probably in the wrong way: You are confusing the (n,k,K) parameters of a CC. k = number of input bits per period n = number of output bits per period K = constraint length of the code (re

Hi Abhinav, > I don't think OOK is constant power modulation, but I suppose S+N/N should still apply on it. It applies, but you must be aware of the fact that transmissions have a different ratio of "on" symbols and "off" symbols have different energy/power. So without knowing how many ons and off
