[Discuss-gnuradio] Help polarity inversion

2009-03-18 Thread Marco Bottino
Hello, I was doing some test with a 6Volts battery with the USRP in order to be able to use my USRP outdoors. (Sonnenschein A506/4.2 s http://www.sonnenschein.org/A500.htm) Everything was fine when I unintentionally inverted the polarity of the battery. At the moment, connecting the power converte

Hello All, I'm trying to do more or less the same thing as Kevin but with two other readers (a RFIdeas Playback and an OpenPCD) and other kind of cards (HID IClass 2K and Mifare Classic 1K: both working at 13.56MHz). I got an interesting signal just putting my loop antenna attached both to the card

[Discuss-gnuradio] Complex signal to square wave

2009-02-16 Thread Marco Bottino
Hello all! I wrote a script in python that takes a binary file (output of the usrp_rx_cfile.py), convert it in a sequence of complex values and applies a variable threshold in order to convert that complex sequence in a square wave. The complex sequence already represent a square wave, but with

[Discuss-gnuradio] Format and dimension of USRP output samples

2008-12-04 Thread Marco Bottino
Hello everybody, I'm sorry to post once again a question about the dimension and the format of the samples output by the USRP, but it is actually hard for me to understand. I'm using the USRP Motherboard with a LFRX daughterboard. Question: if the ADC has 12 bits, each sample that arrives from

hello everybody, I am using the USRP with LFRX daughterboard to catch an RFID signal ASK modulated (frequency 13.56MHz, decimation factor 16). I really need an help because I don't understand very well the meaning of the outputs of my USRP: if the information related to the ASK is only the ampli

2008-11-14 Thread Marco Bottino
Hello, I am a student and I am doing my thesis project on the RFID protocols. At the present time, with the USRP, I am trying to catch the signal between a reader and a tag RFID. As reader I am using an OpendPCD (using the firmware for the Mifare Classic protocol) and as card a Mifare Classic Card.
