Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP Tx Rate Conversion

[Wireless Monster]

Hi Brian,
Thank you for your help. Looks good :)  

So If I understood correctly I can do the following:  

I set the USRP interpolator to 64, so the USRP sink will consume samples at a 2MS/s. I add the resampler just before with a ratio 16/13 so I it consumes samples with a 1.625MS/s rate. Just before that I have the GMSK filter with a interpolation factor of 6 so at the input it is consuming samples at the desired rate 270833.333 Samples/s.

At hat point can I send the samples (for example from a file with gr.file_source) and guarantee they will be treated as a 270.8333Ks/s stream? (assuming there will be enough samples to process)

Thank you again for your help!

Well, if you don't use your x8 upconversion, you can get away with a
rational resampling (I believe).

Taking 270833.333, and upconverting by 3x makes the sample rate
812500.  If you then rationally resample this by 16/13, you get a nice
1Msps signal which you can upconvert by a nice power of 2 for the
USRP.

Try it out and let us know how it works out?
