2016-02-28 Thread Gonzalo Arcos
I have seen that most of the buffers are almost full on average (80-89%), however, that does not help me to know whether a block was blocked from pushing data into the buffer because downstream blocks did not read fast enough. >From your original mail: "File Source is only allowed to produce so m

Thanks for your help. I reviewed the documents again and also looked at the energy detection example in this archive, which was similar to what I'm trying: http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/storage/examples/ucla2014/02-filters_and_filtering.tar.gz I took the parameters to the 4 channel channelizer i

FiFi, I have been working on this or similar problems for a while. I am very much still in the learning process and I think everyone is on this topic. In fact the post I put up earlier today is related because I want to get video of my captures both for further analysis and so that I can show oth

The phenomenon Sylvain is pointing at is basically the fact that as compilers improve, you should expect the 'optimized' proto-kernels to no longer have as dramatic an improvement compared with the generic ones. As to your question of 'is it worth it' - that comes down to a couple of things: for ex

[Discuss-gnuradio] Saving Waterfall to Video File

2016-02-28 Thread Stephen Berger
I would like to save a waterfall plot (spectrograph) to a video file so that I can share it and cut out portions of interest for presentation. Has anyone found a way to directly save the output to an MP4 or some other video format? I have been using a screen recorder but that takes a good ti

Hi Raghu, "Neural Network Implementation" might be a bit too broad. As I see this, GNU Radio is a framework to handle the processing of signals. What classificators and control units you write is a bit decoupled from GNU Radio itself. Other than that: Have you read [1]? It's pretty fresh :) Also b

Hi FiFi, well, WiFi is split into channels of bw=12, 20 or 40 MHz, depending on the standards we're looking at. I don't think I'll tell you something new when I recommend that you 1. isolate these bw wide channels from the f_sample >= bw wide digital signal coming from the USRP, 2. estimate the
