Hi Ihab,

You only answered to me, maybe you should forward your mail to the list.

Regarding the grc, I would also remove the channel model (used for simulations), as in my experience it consumes much CPU.

Hi Frederico,Marcus and Ron

Thanks

Hi Ihab,

Those "restart aquisition" are generated by the ofdm_sym_acquisition block when it does not find a peak on the correlation function he uses to detect the beginning of the OFDM symbol. You should verify there is indeed a DVB signal precisely at 570 MHz. To do this you may use our "Sym Align OFDM" block (not a very nice name) available with gr-isdbt (https://github.com/git-artes/gr-isdbt) and check that you see a "triangle" (please refer to the readme, the examples, and even the issues on our git). The symbol alignment is totally equivalent between DVB-T and ISDB-T.

Moreover, I see several "O"s, meaning that somewhere samples are being dropped. That does not help either. If you do not have a very fast machine, you may use at the beginning of the flowgraph a "Stream to Vector" followed by a "Vector to Stream" with a very big "Num Items" (some millions).

Hi,

I’m trying to receive a live signal from an antenna on the roof through a cable connected to my SDR (hackrf one ).The bandwidth of the DVB-T in ireland is 8 Mhz , and the parametetrs Here in ireland as following:

Bandwidth: 8 MHz
Stream code rate (hi prio): FEC 2/3
Stream code rate (lo prio): FEC 2/3
Modulation: QAM 64
Transmission mode: 8k mode
Guard interval: 1/32
Hierarchy: none

net_data_rate = 24.128 Mbits/s

I used dvbt_rx_demo_8k_QAM64_rate78.grc flow graph with the following changes :

• frequency of hackrf Mhz, sampling rate = ((8*8e6)/7).

• Cyclic Prefix to (8192/32, is this right?)

• Code Rate HP : 2/3

• Code Rate LP : 2/3

• Guard Interval : 1/32

The problem i have is that no output data coming out after the demod_reference_signals BLOCK(no cancellation map), and got the following:

restart aquisition

OOrestart aquisition

d_freq_offset: -5

Od_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

restart aquisition

OOd_freq_offset: -5

d_freq_offset: -5

so I had to add a signal source to shift the signal. After shfting the signal i got the following :

restart aquisition

restart aquisition

restart aquisition

restart aquisition

Orestart aquisition

I have read a lot about DVB , mapping ,ofdm and others, i have spent weeks on this but still the same problem, if it is synchronization problem what i should do?

So please i need a some help with this problem .

Thanks

Ihab
