hi tom, thanks for your response, thats really too bad - I was hoping to get into the gnuradio software. If I set the QS1R to stream on a particular IP and port, can I just use a UDP source block? Or better yet, how difficult is it to write a source block for this radio? Ive looked through t

The ADS62P4x does not have internal dither. In many RF systems there is enough gain that natural noise is strong enough to give enough dither. Matt On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 10:14 PM, LD Zhang wrote: > Dear Group, > > I need to clarify a very basic feature of the USRP ADC. The question is: > Does

[Discuss-gnuradio] Why do I have a sampling rate limit of 33.333 Msps?

2012-10-02 Thread LD Zhang
Hello, I expect my N210 to have a sampling rate up to 100 Msps. Instead I do not seem to go above 33. MHz. Why? I don't see why the LFRX board should be a limitation. Thanks, LD Zhang ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https

The N210 samples at a fixed rate of 100Msps. However, the gigabit Ethernet transport limits the instantaneous bandwidth over the transport to 25Msps in 16 bit sampling mode, or 50Msps in 8 bit sampling mode. --n On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 3:47 PM, LD Zhang wrote: > Hello, > > I expect my N210 to ha

Is there a way to get around this limit? I suppose you have to have on-board memory to hold data temporarily. Unfortunately the N210 isn't like the E100 which has the memory? LD On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 3:50 PM, Nick Foster wrote: > The N210 samples at a fixed rate of 100Msps. However, the gigabi

I would like to explore the system performance from 10 to 100 Msps at an interval of 10 MHz. I know that 20 Msps is probably sufficient. But it would be good to survey the performance at different rates. Since my interest is not the entire band but multiple signal at discrete frequencies, one poss

Hi Nick, Thanks for your helpful comments. I have followed up on this train of thought on specifying a frequency for the USRP. I guess the advantage is one can achieve the same level of over-sampling with lower sampling rate with this technique when one shifts closer to the frequency of interest.

In order to add extra information, I know that block() contains a pure virtual function, so that, in the blob_to_stream program it is used: _item_size(item_size). Then, _item_size is the object used in blob_to_stream. However, I am still wondering if a received a pointer, how can I manipulate it
