[Discuss-gnuradio] How many tunable parameters in GNU radios?

2011-03-07 Thread Rachel Li
Hi All: I have a very general question, does anyone know how many tunable parameters (approximately) are there in GNU radio (e.g. USRP1)? Suppose two radios need to get/set each other's parameters, in the conventional approach, they need a fixed protocol, the number of tunable parameters will eff

Hi, all, I am trying to communicate between two USRP1 with the bbn_80211b_tx.py and bbn_80211b_rx.py. My OS is Ubuntu 10.10, but I have no idea what is my GNU Radio release(if anyone can help me to find out it, it will be very appreciated.) First, I tried to transmit the getty.txt. I run the c

[Discuss-gnuradio] HELP! Is it a defective USRP1?

2010-11-09 Thread Rachel Li
Hi All: I am experiencing something strange with USRP1 and already tried a lot of approaches to diagnose where the problem is, but no luck so far. We have two USRP1, each of which has a RXF 2400 daughter board and an antenna connected to the Tx/Rx port. When we run benchmark (benchmark_tx.py and

2010-11-07 Thread Rachel Li
Hi All: I am trying to set a proper pair of tx amplitude and rx gain, but found something confused. In transmit_path.py ( ..-> packet_transmitter -> Multiply Const -> USRP Sink), I see that the range of Multiply Const is [0, 1). However, in one of the GRC example usrp_tx_dpsk.grc (Random Source

Hi All: I am trying to run the examples in gr-trellis/src/examples and learn how to use the trellis modules. However, there is an error up: ImportError: No module named scipy.linalg Also, I couldn't find this module on my computer too. Could anyone give me some help on this problem? Many thanks

[Discuss-gnuradio] GRC question: How to measure BER when Tx and Rx are on different machines?

2010-11-02 Thread Rachel Li
Hi all: I have Tx and Rx on different machines. To measure the BER, I need to compare the a reference stream and the output stream of the demodulator. I suspect that my way to obtain the reference stream is wrong. Here is how I obtain the reference stream: 1: At the Tx, I used Random Source to

Hi all: I am using GRC 3.3 on ubuntu 10.10. After I "generate" and "execute" the flow diagram, the graphical sink window will show up (e.g. FFT skin or Scope sink). However, everything in this window will turn grey after a few seconds and I am not able to click any button in the window. When I tri

Hi: I am new to gnuradio and have a question regarding how to build a communication link from scratch. This is the communication link I want to build: Tx link: Data bit stream -> Hamming Coding -> QAM modulation -> add training sequence -> (send to the air) Rx link: QAM demodulation -> Decisio
