Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Storing A/D samples in memory.........

[Kshitij Kumar Singh]

Thanks David,

             I was looking to store the decimated samples(Would be quite a problem storing raw samples at 64 MHz :)  coming in through the USB.) This is definitely helpful.
@Zhifeng , I was working on some cooperative communications protocol (honestly, just a fancy multi-hop prototype) where the samples received from the transmitter and the relay could be utilized towards providing a better SNR at the receiver , hopefully, by forming a virtual antenna array (of sorts).

Regards,
Kshitij

Hi Kshitij,
I am considering the channel estimation by pilot. So, it may very like what you want. Could you give more detail what is your target?
Is there any one have experience on the real time channel estimation (with pilot) on GNU Radio?

do you want the raw A/D samples?  this would have to be a hardware
solution (pinout to the FPGA).  However, If you just want the samples
that are coming across the USB (these samples have been decimated and
filtered) , then you can do a simple write to a file

fg = gr.flow_graph()

src = "">snk = gr.file_sink_c(...)

fg.connect(src,snk)

then you can do what you want with the data offline
