Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Bandpass Sampling

[Richard Bell]

I've seen the the UHD manual but not the performance measures doc. It is not opening for me. If it has a block diagram of the WBX board, then that is what I was looking for.

There is no more information I need at this time. Your previous answer was helpful and what I was looking for.

Yes you can move this to the usrp list.

Thanks again,

Rich

There's so much Marcus in here ;) so here's my answer: usually, you'd use the USRP+WBX as direct conversion receiver, not an IF one.

Regarding WBX documentation: have you seen the performance measurements [1], and the UHD manual [2]?

Is there some specific information you're missing?

Best regards,
Marcus

PS: if you'd agree, I'd like to shift this discussion to address@hidden .

I'm apologize. I am using a WBX card.

I forgot to mention that I've been looking for a datasheet for the WBX,
but all I can find is the PCB schematic doc on the ettus website which
isn't very useful. So I don't know what the IF frequency coming out of the
WBX is. Does the WBX tune itself given the UHD source settings so that the
IF it produces is proper for the USRP ADC?

 The N2xx series use a fixed sample rate, so there's no "deciding what
sample rate to use based on Fc".

There's also the analog bandwidth of the ADC to consider.  If you aren't
going to use a downconverter card, then the analog bandwidth of the ADC
will start to roll-off at some point, so even if you narrowband filter your
input signal to remove aliasing possibilities, you will end up in the
roll-off skirts of the analog bandwidth of the ADC.

Is there some reason not to use a downconverter card, like the WBX for
your application?

  I have a binary FSK signal centered at 300 MHz with 160 kHz offset
peaks from the center freak. Therefore the lowest signal frequency of
interest is 300-0.16 = 299.84 MHz and the highest is 300.16 MHz.

I know the maximum sampling rate of the USRPN210 ADC is 100 MSPS. If the
USRP uses that sample rate of 100 MSPS, it will alias my signal onto itself
in an unwanted manor.

My question is, how does the USRPN210 decide what sample rate to set the
ADC to? Is it a function of both the center frequency and the sample rate
setting of the UHD source block?

Thanks,
Rich
