Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD disable receive

2011-05-02 Thread Steve Peters
Sorry to resurrect this somewhat old thread, but I'm mightily confused by something. Mike originally said: "For my simple setup I've got 2 N210's each with an RFX2400 (using TX/RX for receive)." The Ettus website says: "The user may set the receive antenna to be TX/RX or RX2. However, when usin

[Discuss-gnuradio] Active antennas on Ettus RFX d'boards

2010-01-26 Thread Steve Peters
Hi all, Although there are methods for supplying +5V to a receive antenna on the DBSRX daughterboards, I just wanted a final sanity check to verify that there is not something similar for the RFX (in particular 1800) daughterboards before I go and buy an external bias tee. I've looked in the arch

Hi Phil, I realize this isn't the GPS-SDR mailing list but this should be documented somewhere. From what I can tell, it looks like in one of his more recent commits, Mr. Heckler did a search and replace, from printf( to fprintf(stdout, He did this to clear up some bug he was getting. Howeve

[Discuss-gnuradio] Simulating FPGA Testbenches

2008-09-08 Thread Steve Peters
I've made a few small changes to the inband FPGA code to allow for interleaving of channels, which is necessary for our application. I've gotten it to compile and have done some live testing on the USRP, and it seems to be working. I have, however, had an extremely frustrating time trying to simul

Hi George, Thanks for the quick and thought-out response. I actually tried with the new rbf yesterday. It produces no noticeable differences in the output I'm interested in at this point. Second, we are not seeing any underrun. I have verified this in two ways. First, I check pkt->underrun()
