[USRP-users] QPSK modulation and demodulation

2024-08-28 Thread ali siddig
Dear all, I have tried to use the QPAK modulation and demodulation exapmle from the tutorial in the link below. I am using two USRPs B205 as transmitter and receiver, frequency 910MHz , sampling rate 300k or 1 M sps. However, the received signal's constellation after Costas loop are not synchronize

I already tried that, but may be it is a parameter values issue I used : Sample per symbol=4 Filter rolloff factor =350m Prototype filter size 44 Loop bandwidth 62.8m When the input value is random source (228,229), it works But when the input value is random source (0,256), it doesn't work Best

[USRP-users] X440 Noise Figure

2024-08-28 Thread Steve Hamn
Hello, I have been trying to estimate the Noise Figure of the X440. I looked through all the documentation I could find and couldn't find it anywhere, so I tried to calculate it myself. It looks like the ZU2xDR RFSoC has a NSD of -146dBFS/Hz @ 2.4GHz ( https://docs.amd.com/r/en-US/ds926-zynq-ultr

Hi Marcus, Thanks. Understood, that all makes sense to me. Part of this is I'm trying to understand the base Noise Figure as a starting point so I can design my filtered low noise front end as you suggest. I guess you're confirming that 36.5dB is expected from the X440 and there's nothing crazy w

Here's an article that may help with your NF calculations. "Calculating noise figure and third-order intercept in ADCs" https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt090/slyt090.pdf I wrote a little C program from it. #include #include #include int main(int argc, char **argv) {     double   k, t, dBm1Hz,
