Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How can i determine my current phone's frequency?

2015-12-17 Thread Karl Koscher
Probably the best way to do this is to get your phone to either tell you the ARFCN it's on (and not many do), or the cell ID. If you get a cell ID, you'd need to scan the downlink frequencies for that particular cell ID. Once you find the downlink frequency, the uplink should be a constant offset a

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] detecting covert RFID scans

2015-12-27 Thread Karl Koscher
There are also far-field RFID systems, such as the EPC Gen2 standard that was intended to replace product barcodes but has found itself in other applications such as toll road tags and DHS-compliant IDs. One potential problem with trying to detect these systems with GNU Radio is that the tags them

[Discuss-gnuradio] Weird behavior of the correlate_and_sync block

2015-03-28 Thread Karl Koscher
I'm trying to use the correlate_and_sync block to get an initial timing estimate from a packet radio, but it doesn't seem to work at all. I decided to dig a bit deeper and try to figure out what it was doing. As it turns out, the sequence it correlates against seems to be completely wrong. Here's a

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Demodulating short bursts of BPSK

2015-04-02 Thread Karl Koscher
If the packets have a preamble, there's a block called correlate_and_sync which should do what you want, although it has some issues. See a thread I started a few days ago about that... On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 3:36 PM, Mike Willis wrote: > I have an application that needs to decode short bursts o
