It's possible to simulate a Tayloe detector in gnuradio. Probably this would involve stream demux block, filters, negate and sum. Ie. there's no "capacitor" block. You will need to think in terms of functions. On Sat, Aug 13, 2022, 20:57 david vanhorn wrote: > Because in GR I can generate impai

Because in GR I can generate impaired signals approximating real world conditions, with fine control and repeatability. I can then run that through the Tayloe while experimenting with it's variables, again with fine control and repeatability. Finally I can work with DSP on the output of the Tayloe,

Hi, It's not clear to me why you would want to do this. As far as I can see, the purpose of a Tayloe detector is to mix a real-valued RF signal with a complex-valued local oscillator to arrive at an intermediate frequency at or near zero frequency that can be sampled using a sound card. If yo

Well, I'm sitting here recovering from open heart surgery for the next two months, and I've always wanted to tackle this little problem. Seems a bit scary though with all the moving parts. On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 2:21 PM Nick Foster wrote: > David, > > OK, I see what you're after now. Gnuradio

David, OK, I see what you're after now. Gnuradio isn't a SPICE simulator, so getting it to fully represent your Tayloe mixer isn't really feasible. Maybe the easiest way to accomplish what you're looking to do would be to quantify the performance of your LTSpice simulation in a model of a quadratu

I have built the detector in ltspice, but i was hoping to use gr to do a "soup to nuts" sim with multiple transmitters and various noise sources, feed that into the Tayloe, and then see what I could do downline from there to recover my signals. On Fri, Aug 12, 2022, 12:43 PM Marcus D. Leech wrote

David, A Tayloe detector is of great utility in the "real world" of hardware as a way to get a quadrature baseband signal from a real passband signal. In the DSP world things are much easier! If you have a real-valued signal (i.e., an audio stream), you first convert it to a complex (quadrature)
