Channel State Information of OFDM in gnuradio

2023-05-03 Thread Hamed Al-Zubi
Dears,  I am doing some analysis on channel state information of OFDM signals. I used GNURadion rx_ofdm.grc (gnuradio/gr-digital/examples/ofdm at main · gnuradio/gnuradio) for signal transmission and reception through a channel model block. Then, the CSI has been extracted using Tag debug block

Hi George, that's a multiplicative voice scrambler! The pre-Second World war voice scrambler system "SIGSALY" [1] was kind of similar; just that the scrambling sequence came out of a noisy vacuum tube, not Python's random.random(), and that the combination method was taking samples and adding

Hi Hamed, so, estimating anything from noise will be noisy if the estimation has something to do with the estimated entity. (Compare, especially, the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound: you can't bias-free estimate with zero error in a noisy reception.) So, is it right if I assume that you measured or ca

Getting GPS data into stream

Hi everyone, I am trying to record some data from an SDR and would like to sync/tag the data with the current gps position from gpsd. I am kind of stuck and don't know how a possible solution for that might look like in grc. I have a python function that gets the current position as a tuple, bu

Hi Fabian, I'd write a block that copies a stream in- to output. It might query gpsd every time the work() function is called, or have a FIFO into which data from gspd is being pushed by a separate thread (or by reading from  a socket or however gspd works, I must admit I'm not sure). You th

OK, I think I found an easier way (at least for me), without having to write my own module - never done that. I used the "Tags Strobe" block in combination with the "Python Module" for my gps_get_position() function. Anyway, where can I find a definition of the format of the "Tagged File Sink"?

Hey Marcus, Quite apart from the GPSD-specific stuff, it would be useful to have a kind of "annotated formatted data" file sink for low-rate   data (like scientific data, etc) which supports CSV outputs, and has some way of ordering any tags that come in with the   data and formatting them app
