[Discuss-gnuradio] GNURadio File meta Sink performance.

2019-07-16 Thread SG
Hi all, I have been trying to capture data as well as meta data in file meta sink in GNURadio. When I run my gr-ieee802.11 receiver flowgraph with no file meta sink, it captures the signal transmitted by a dedicated source which is always turned on. However, when i just try to capture and stor

That phase is not any more or less random than that of your local oscillator, so there might be some misunderstanding here.

Look up what a quadrature modulator does. It's just a multiplication with e^{j2\pi f_{carrier}t}, in the end. Your constant signal s(t) = c const. would hence be transmitted as c·e^{j2\pi f_{carrier}t} whereas a complex sinusoid of frequency f and amplitude a, s(t) = a·e^{j2\pi f t) would be tra

Ettus USRPs are not calibrated measurement devices, so be a bit careful with actually measuring power with them: you'll need to calibrate things yourself for every sample rate, carrier frequency, antenna, temperature … combination. Best regards, Marcus On Tue, 2019-07-16 at 17:37 +0100, Simona Si

Watch out! What do you get at the *output* of your SDR device when you transmit a constant complex baseband signal, mixed to a carrier frequency? How does that differ from transmitting a complex baseband sinusoid mixed to a carrier frequency? On Tue, 2019-07-16 at 18:32 +0200, sumit kumar wrote: >

Hi Marcus and Sumit, Thank you for the answer. I tried with different sampling rate until 5M. And I connected the spectrum analyzer to measure the power. Practically, I would like to measure the power also in the receiver. Best Regards, Simona Il giorno mar 16 lug 2019 alle ore 17:20 Müller, Mar

Ok, so for a constant source, in the time domain you will see a flat signal only! Try connecting a spectrum analyzer and you shud see a peak at DC becz Fourier transform of constant signal is impulse. And yes, as Marcus said, increase the sampling rate!

Hi Simona, * think about what you're *actually* transmitting in bandpass when you have a constant baseband * A USRP still can't be used at a sampling rate of 32 kS/s and will most definitely complain about that. Use a higher rate. Best regards, Marcus On Tue, 2019-07-16 at 17:05 +0100, Simona Si

Hi, Off-topic: not sure about the terminology in the GNURadio community, just be aware that for most electrical engineers “sps” means samples per second and not samples per symbol. I’d rather not use the acronym at all in a block diagram to improve readability. Cheers, Jonas From: Discuss-gnu
