[Discuss-gnuradio] Implementation of an I/Q Lab with USRP2

2011-01-18 Thread Eduardo Lloret Fuentes
Good morning, I am student (not a starving student) who started researching with GNU Radio Software last month. This week, I am trying to implement an I/Q Lab using the USRP2 board. What I mean is that I would like to create my own IP (for example a filter) and to program it into the FPGA. Then,

Yes, according to the photo it is a coaxial cable, which by definition includes shielding, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable The shielding insulates from external interference, much like a Faraday cage; however, it doesn't work as a frequency selective filter, nor is it a perfect insu

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I use two USRP2s. When the receiver is loaded with the UHD driver it exhibits poor performance. No matter if the sender is using the standard or the UHD driver. The buffer shouldn't be the problem: "Current recv sock buff size: 5000 bytes" I do get that filte

Using a 5Hz PPS is not fundamentally different than 1Hz. That should not be a problem. Make sure your pulse has the correct levels: http://www.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/usrp2.html#pps-pulse-per-second -Josh On 01/18/2011 05:36 PM, Sangho Oh wrote: > Hello, > > I am using Garmin 18 5Hz PPS

It passes the pps test. I just thought it is not working properly because the clock is too fast (5x than pps), and reading time is less than 1 sec. If that is normal, then my GPS pps signal may be working correctly - Sangho -
