[Discuss-gnuradio] FW: Fwd: USRP Packet Decoder and Encoder

2017-07-04 Thread Brian
Having tried the several options from Derek and Mojtaba find myself lost still. To summarize I am trying to send a file, whether that be complex (Jpeg) or simple (txt) through a pair of USRP. To start with I created a single flow graph with bit conversion encoding and modulation, this works. I

Hello, (Its a long post :) as I want to give as much details as possible) Today I did a strange experiment. Under GNU Radio companion, I created a blank project. Then I copy pasted the wifi_loopback.grc from gr-ieee 802.11 to my blank project and made it run. Off course I took care of the initial

If you have access to the examples available in GNURadio package, please check: \examples\digital\packet Or \example\digital\demod The parameters are straight forward though. Samples Per Symbol for your case is 2. Filter Rollof Factor of 0.35 is fine. Prototype Filter Size of 44 or 45 does the jo

Hi Brian, Good work you attached the flowgraphs. My suggestion is to either 1- add an FLL Band-Edge block before the Polyphase Clock Recovery block at Rx; so your Rx side looks like this: USRP Source -> FLL Band-Edge -> Polyphase Clock Recovery -> CMA Equalizer -> ... Or 2- Instead of low lev

BER is an observation, a count, not an estimation – it only makes sense to talk about a Bit Error Rate (BER) after a complete physical layer receiver, i.e. at the bit level. You can estimate the BER of a whole system if you know how it reacts to noise – but that's typically not what you do. Instead

Dear Rafik, I think we're approaching this from the wrong side: I don't think that I should be explaining why you get a good BER and SNR estimate, it is you who should explain why you're expecting something different, and then we can discuss! I'm not quite sure what I could be explaining at this p

Hello Brian, It will be difficult to provide useful advice without seeing your flowgraph. Does your file correctly get written if you bypass the actual radios and simply connect the transmitter and receiver flowgraphs together? If it does then you probably need to add synchronization to your recei
