Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM Implementation

[sumitstop]

go to the directory /usr/local/bin
there u will find benchmark files for ofdm (both transmission and reception)
u need to type benchmark_ofdm_rx.py -h
and benchmark_ofdm_tx.py -h

these will show you the parameters u can play with.

after that u can run these files by typing ./benchmark_ofdm_tx.py -f
<frequency appropriate to ur daughter board>
and ./benchmark_ofdm_rx.py -f <frequency appropriate to ur daughter board>

also there may be drift in the center frequency of the daughter board so u
can do one thing. first run the transmitter part and see on the spectrum
analyzer for the center frequency of the ofdm signal.

after that run the receiver part with that center frequency specified in the
arguments.
now run the transmitter again with the same frequency.

if u get timeouts then u need to play with the receiver gain and transmitter
amplitude as well as the receiver center frequency.

u can change the bandwidth of the ofdm signal by changing the no of occupied
tones or fft length because bw = occupied tones/ fft length

let me know ur results.
