Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 Sample 2.4 GHz Channel

Depending on how long you want to sample (and how much system RAM you've got) you can also do something like using tmpfs (i.e. a RAM disk). I've often resorted to this when doing collections lasting a minute or less. At 25MS/s * 32bit/S (I&q...@16bits) * 60s = 5.58GB according to my calculator - so

When you say sample the channel - are you trying to look at the I&Q samples coming right out of the USRP2? In which case, the easiest way to start would be to use the usrp2_rx_cfile.py script, then you can load the file into Matlab/Octave/etc. to take a look at. If you want to record samples coming

Hello, I'm trying to sample the 802.11b wireless channels but the USRP2. I'm currently using revision 10689 of Gnuradio. I've added code to bbn_80211b_rx.py to connect the gr_probe_signal_f() to the top block. To sample the channel, I use gr.probe_signal_f(). Here's the code to connect the block:
