Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Minimum external clock for FPGA?

2010-01-16 Thread David Burgess
John - It is my understanding that the current FPGA image used for OpenBTS will fail on the transmit side if the FPGA clock is slower than the USB clock. The USB clock is 48 MHz. Also, the GSM symbol clock is derived from 13 MHz, so if you use a multiple-of-13 clock, you can simplify a l

One of the approaches we are considering for OpenBTS is to use a VCTCXO with the control voltage taken from one of the D/A outputs of the FPGA, with LOTS of low-pass filtering, of course. This would not give a wide range of frequencies, but would allow precise frequency calibration through

Hanwen - The -60 dBm refers to the signal level at the output of the USRP, not the final ouput of the BTS. The leakage signal is amplified by the PA, but in the full BTS design you reference it is subject to an additional 70 dB attenuation in the duplexer. So the actual output level at t

That low power level does not sound right. The power level at the tx connector should be around 20 dBm. Note the we recommend terminating the transmit connector to prevent unlawful emissions. Plenty of power leaks out of the USRP for desktop testing, even with a termination. Absolutely d
