Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Question regarding correlating output and IQ samples in a reciever

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Abhinav,

point of timing recovery like you do it is that there's no IQ samples that *exactly and reliably* correspond to the symbol timing; that's why you need timing recovery. The question here is: what do you actually need? The IQ samples before timing recovery aren't useful to the decoder.

Just to assure you: AGC2 doesn't modify the number of samples, it just multiplies with a factor that changes so that average power stays the same.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi All,

My problem is that above calculation sort of works, and isn't it exact.

I have the following preable of 32 bits [1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1].

This can be seen in badpreamble.png, where for some reason I have trailing 0s or noise and the

start of preamble is missing.

If I shift the position to 8 bits lag in the bit file and then plot(8shiftedpreamble.png), the corresponding

IQ samples using above logic, it is almost right (alhough sitll not right.

Any suggestions how to get the exact IQ samples ?

Thanks,

Abhinav

Hi all,

This might be too simple, but I wanted to confirm as I am not sure how the

blocks manipulate the IQ samples and how AGC works, does it add more

samples for compensating the noise average or not.

I have a flowgraph(image attached) which dumps the IQ samples and the bits after using Polyphase Clock Sync. I want to find exact IQ samples corresponding to

a specific preamble in the bitsequence I have obtained in the output

file.

Let say the starting position of sample is= P, the sample rate=S ksps, samples \

per symbol=Y.

Is it correct to assume that the index of iq samples corresponding to

preamble in the IQ file will be at index P*Y ?

If preamble size is 32 bits then there will be 32*Y of them ?

Thanks,

Abhinav
