[Discuss-gnuradio] A question on gnuradio capacity of handling real time data streaming and signal processing with USRP N210 + gnuradio on host linux computer

[LD Zhang]

Dear Group,

 

I have a need to do real time or near real time tracking (most likely phase-lock loop) of multiple narrow-band carriers/tones in a 1MHz band of signal input using USRP N210 and gnuradio running on a reasonable linux host. Say the carriers/tones are embedded in the band from -500 kHz to +500 kHz. If I want to lock on to 20 carriers in that band using gnuradio PLLs, will this choke up the computer? If there is a problem, I also would like to think how to reduce data rates. But I don’t know whether multiple LO’s are an option.

 

Thanks for reading,
