Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] how to measure ber and snr

Hi BZS, haven't seen you in a long time! Welcome back :) If you use the search tool in gnuradio-companion, you will find the BER block, which has two inputs and will output an BER measurement. SNR is highly dependent on what you consider to be signal and what you consider to be noise, so for mos

Hello, I did find a simlar entry to this problem on the forum from last month but there was no usable solution for me unless I missed something. Also I have not found a way to allow me to change the USB permissions. Any advise will be a great help. Thanks John I have this issue on TWO DIFFERENT

You may need the rtprio also. See notes at below link I have been keeping: http://rfpoweramp.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/setting-up-the-usrp-b200/ Note there is something screwed up with Worpress and quotes pasted from the Linux shell, so be careful if pasting in that text. Lou KD4HSO John Meloc

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Why am I dropping data over the UDP network?

2014-07-11 Thread Marcus Leech
Assuming that you're not just dropping samples -- are you getting 'O' on your receiver console?   If that isn't the case, then the most likely reason is that UDP doesn't guarantee a reliable channel, and if you're routing these UDP packets over a significant-sized IP network, that network may be dr

Also, you're sending data at 6.25Msps, with complex-float samples, which chews up:   6.25e6 x 8   bytes/second = 400Mbit/second, without accounting for headers and other overhead.   You might want to re-think your architecture, if you're going to be sending this data over the network.       on Jul

Funny that I was doing the exact same thing last night, and I'm also getting warnings on the receive end at only 500 ksps on a home LAN. Should the stream be vectorized before the UDP sink, and if so how long? I tried both stream and vectors but still get the warnings. Lou KD4HSO Ward, Marcus

If I change the type to complex integer 16, you think I’ll have a better outcome? Seeing as if there is a way to change the type to complex 16, but I will have to incorporate converters. From: Marcus Leech [mailto:mle...@ripnet.com] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2014 1:38 PM To: Ward, Marcus D. Cc: Dis

No, building vectors out of streams would (in the best case) change nothing, as you don't send individual samples but always packets full of payloads. Also, if you have a hardware device defining your data rate, you will never need a throttle, and having one will most likely only introduce problem

[Discuss-gnuradio] Any way to sample/log the 50Mhz ISM signal in gnuradio with USRP2?

Hi guy, Thanks in advance. Currently I am implementing a project based on ofdm_bentchmark example with USRP2. I remember that the sample rate of ADC of USRP 2 with RF2450 can be up to 100MS/s. That means we can use USRP2 to capture at most 50Mhz bandwidth signal. Initially, I plan to log the si
