Re: [USRP-users] Is it possible to combine several X310 for MIMO/Beamforming applications using the RFNoC framework?

Hi,martin, if so,how do we focus the data on a FPGA for processing? We plan to use 4 number of X310 for 8X8MIMO, and now we want to use the rfnoc framework for real-time signal processing. How do we focus the data on a x310 for processing?. Because the collected data comes from different x310. than

Hi, I have some doubts on the interfaces available on noc shell and axi wrapper. Based on the deep dive slides noc shell provides 3 bidirectional busses: * Command & response Looking at the noc_shell code this should be indicated as control source. This bus seems to be able to send commands t

Hi, as I said before, I had no chance to access the hardware for some time, but today I had some time. First of all: I got the time synchronization working. In addition to setting the time source and setting an initial time through set_time_unknown_pps it took some time for me to find out that

Hello I am trying to receive gsm 1800 band using NI USRP 2954R, but when I am trying to set the sampling rate of uhd_source in gnuradio to 150 MSPS, it's giving an error message saying hardware does not support sampling rate above 100MSPS. Please help! BR Snehasish

Try 200MS/s. The FPGA can only decimate integer amounts from the ADC rate, which is 200MS/s. On Tue, Aug 22, 2017 at 5:15 PM, Snehasish Kar via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Hello > I am trying to receive gsm 1800 band using NI USRP 2954R, but when I am > trying to set the sam

I again encourage you to look at rx_multi_samples which shows how to properly set-up a multi-motherboard configuration. On 2017-08-22 10:34, Janos Buttgereit via USRP-users wrote: > Hi, > > as I said before, I had no chance to access the hardware for some time, but > today I had some time. >

Hi Dario, Yes, the deep dive is a bit outdated, but most of the core concepts are still valid. Originally, next_dst was derived from a register in the user register address space (usually register 128). However, that was wasteful of user registers, so that signal was pulled into Noc Shell and set

Hi Jonathon, Thank you for your feedback. There's one more thing I am missing. I need to implement closed loop frequency hopping in the sense that my rfnoc block demodulates a signal, provides demodulated data to host along with timestamp and host needs to send a timed command to another block t

Dario, I've been working on a similar requirement. how strict are your timing needs? For prototyping we were able to get microsecond timing with just a scheduler implemented in python on an E310. The other major limitation right now is that RFnoc does not implement the UHD tagging of samples on th

Hi Tom, Microseconds would be fine as I just need to align to frequency hopping that has a scale of milliseconds. For the transmit side I should have no issue given that the transmit block is going to be a custom rfnoc one and I can set it up to start on a given vita time with a timed register s

Hello Koyel, This is a fundamental problem that increasing sample rate takes more processing power to handle but provides more bandwidth of spectrum. How wide is the signal you need to process? The general recommendation is that you sample at 1.25 times your bandwidth. This provides 20% more spect
