[Discuss-gnuradio] QT Vector Sink Issue

2016-02-24 Thread Nigel Steed
Hi All, I am currently trying to compare any difference between the QT Time Sink and the QT Vector Sink code. I have a GRC Flowgraph which uses both of these plots. The QT Time Sink works every time, but if I connect a QT Vector Sink at the same point it fails to display data other than zero, a

That was pretty much what I wanted to say. "State of the art in SDR" is very *very* ambiguous; it could refer to * SDR as a tool to make transceiver or measurement systems, and in that both the fact that existing non-SDR systems are now SDR, or that new systems are possible with SDR, * SDR hardwar

My suspicion is exactly that, network manager just "manages something", which conflicts with your settings in /etc/network/interfaces. Can you, via the "connection settings" menu, configure your card to the same static address, ...10.1? Best regards, Marcus On 02/23/2016 10:27 PM, Maria Christopo

Hm, you just want to get started with cheap, "low-end" receivers: I'd really go for the rtl-sdr dongles. They can really be small, just sticking out of your USB port for about 5mm. I'm not aware of a similar device for the expresscard slot; if you want, build one yourself, by getting an old/cheap/b

As little comms knowledge as I have, I have even less about MIMO. However, I'm having a hard time understanding how the WBX boards would even be considered for any MIMO application when there could be a random 180 degree phase offset. Is there another daughtercard in which this little quirk is

on the N210: SBX. UBX on the N210 does have that ambiguity (it doesn't on X3x0). re MIMO: well, ambiguities aren't nice, but as a matter of fact, any communication receiver needs to have a timing / phase recovery, be it a MIMO receiver or not; typically, you'd try both options (remember, 180° is j

You're right: this isn't a show stopper, and in the context of this not running in real time for my purposes anyway, I don't think it's a big deal. In the interest of completeness, when is this ambiguity introduced? On power up, or on some/any UHD call? Basically, when should I be aware and c

Just to make sure we're all on the same page: The vector sink is meant to display vectors of data, one at a time. It's basically like the frequency sink if you had to vectorize and FFT the data yourself. So putting a time signal into the vector sink is maybe not the right thing to do, but I'm not

Hi Michael, To get GNUradio to build correctly from source on the RPi2 you need to do a couple of things: 1. Increase the swap space on the device 2. Build single threaded (make -j 1) 3. Make a source fix in one of the volk ARM asm files. Did you run into this error when you tried your build ?
