USRP N320/321 LO sharing issues

Hello everyone, I am setting up a MIMO system with usrp N320 and N321, as you can imagine I am facing some problems. The first one is relative to USRP module synchronization, especially about LO distribution through Usrp N321 . To allow you understand I have attached test files grc and python,

I think you have a version mix. gnuradio 3.9 uses std::shared_ptr but you boost::shared_ptr which is 3.8 So you need a version of gr-packetizer that supports 3.9. -- Volker Am 09.08.21 um 11:42 schrieb Yash Agrawal 18410 via GNU Radio, the Free & Open-Source Toolkit for Software Radio: Hello e

gr-fosphor display freeze issues

hi there. First off, let me say that gr-fosphor is one of the most impressive visualizations i've seen in SDR. I've used it with NVIDIA GPU's as well as FPGA's (RFNoC). I rely on it so much that it's become my go-to display in my SDR software suite. UNFORTUNATELY for some reason, recently my fosph

Hi Paul, Mmm that's strange. What NVidia driver version are you running ? And any chance they got updated (or other part of the OS) between the last time it worked and now ? I'm not sure what timeout you're talking about, but in any case, the batch size (CL job) in gr-fosphor is constant, there is

Hi all, I am playing around with PSK demodulation, now doing a small project trying to decode the slow-speed PSK data on the 198 KHz carrier of BBC radio 4. The specs are here: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/reports/1984-19.pdf According the document (page 2 of the document, page 8 of t

Hi Kristoff, You can just put an additional RRC in front of it or you can calculate the tabs by folding die tabs of the RRC with themself. There is probably a numpy function to do that. Have not tested any of that, but both ways should do the trick. Fabian Am 10. August 2021 20:44:05 MESZ schr

Kr, That pulse shaping is *identical* to that for a RDS signal. I'm able to demodulate the RBDS signal using a RRC filter in a "Polyphase Clock Sync" block. Adjusting the parameters from the RDS signal to that of your BBC signal (1187.5 Hz bit rate to 25 Hz bit rate), you'd get the following p

Hi Fabian, Thanks, i'll try both options and compair them. I remember from my books on DSP it is possible to combine multiple consecutive FIT filters into one, so I did a little bit of more research on this. I found (*) that -as convolution as associative- this implies this: (( f * h1) *

Hallo Gary, OK, I based my assumption on the graph of the RC on wikipedia  (*) Perhaps I got it wrong and is the frequency-response indeed a RRC, not a RC. If yes, this would make things a lot easier. (Perhaps I got confused by the fact that amateur-radio PSK31 uses RC instead of RRC, so per

Hi gary, Fabian, all, Small note: The first tests seems to indicate the the rrc-filter works! Yes! - I can decode large chunks of data with valid Manchester-encoding. However, from time to time, I do get large blocks of data (10 to 20 seconds) with errors. - Changing the value of alpha does

ok, this isn't fosphor, i'm really sorry to have bothered you. This is a stupid UHD4 bug that's emerged where if you even drop one single sample UHD terminates the stream. In this case the downstream block was gr-fosphor, but i've been able to confirm now that the same thing happens with regular QT
