Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] (no subject)

Hi Vingnu,

can you please try to keep discussions on the list?

I still don't understand:
Your graph then tells me that the amplitude would be high over bandwidths of 60MHz, and low for bandwidths of 4MHz, right?
Still, all your other explanations indicate you're talking about single tones (like the signal_generator_cw from the examples you cite generate), which don't have a bandwidth at all.
This is all very contradicting!

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi,  This is regarding x and y axis of graph what I have posted in last post.  (1)Y-axis is amplitude and (2)X-axis is frequency.Amplitude remains  constant and frequency has to be increase in terms of steps(60MHz).  Examples what I have referred for CW is USRP echotimer _CW in (exaples  USRP) and simulator_CW (in simulators) these examples are from gr-radar  tool kit.    regards  Vinay    On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 10:04 AM, vingnu GNU <vingnugnu@gmail.com> wrote:

A few hundred kilobyte won't break the mailing list, and  it's always a good thing to illustrate your system well; I've spent much  (too much?) time in university labs, and believe me, there's nothing more  crucial about science and technological progress than to be able to  communicate your knowledge; pictures are a very good way of doing that.    So: let's consider this:  [image: Waveform]  Since we're talking about SDR with USRPs, there's two ways you can  interpret this graphic, if it stands alone:       1. This is the equivalent baseband signal, or     2. This is the electrical signal as "seen" by the antenna (RF signal).    Considering the time axis, the first (0-2ns) slot has 1GHz of frequency,  and the second period (4ns-6ns) has 2GHz. That means that (since there is  no USRP with a >=2GHz sampling rate) this can only be interpreted as the  antenna signal, so this is case 2.  This means that, yes, this is possible in principle, but not quite in the  shape shown: you tune your USRP to frequency 1, and transmit  a constant  baseband value (e.g. 1+0j) for your "dwell time"; then, you start tuning to  the next frequency, and transmit 0's, and then another "dwell time" worth  of constant value, and so on.    Aside from the obvious timing impossibility (the shown waveform has a tone  duration of 2ns; that won't be possible with any USRP; our DAC/ADC don't  exist in a 500MS/s variant so far), you cannot continue the wave at the  same zero phase, so the phase of the wave at each transmission start won't  be zero, but some other value. However, there are USRP/daughterboard  combinations that allow for a fixed phase reconstruction at tuning. Hence  my *repeated* question: What is your USRP, and if applicable, your  daughterboard?¹    Then, you have a second picture, which I admittedly really do not  understand:  [image: What's this?]  I had the feeling that this was some kind of Y-over-X graph, but I really  could not tell what the axis and the meaning of your line are, so could you  please define ?1 and ?2, as well as explain what the graph means? What  happens there?      Best regards,  Marcus    ¹I really usually don't nitpick, but it's really hard to get the  information out of you to help you, so I'm asking you explicitly: Please  always answer all questions we ask so that we can actually help you!

Hardware-wise, most USRPs (which one are you using) support timed  commands so that you can tune at a specific sample time. For those that  don't, you'll have to use some time buffers, but it's essentially what  the example probably does that you cite -- though you're not really  telling me which example exactly you're referring to.    All in all, please try to make your questions a little more precise, add  all the details that are important right from the start.

My question was ,is it possible to increment this CW signal source    interms    of 60MHz step size and keeping 250usec of dwell time between 60MHz steps  and it should be upto  2GHz and repeating same in next cycle.  ex: first frequency is 1GHz it has to add 60MHz step size and keep    250usec    of dwell time i.e.,after 1.06GHz pulse it has to maintain 250usec dwell  time before next 60MHz pulse .    regards  vingnu    On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Marcus Müller <    marcus.mueller@ettus.com>    wrote:      Hi Vingnu,  that's all nice, but what does "continuous wave" _mean_?

So:    * do you just want to simulate the signal or really transmit that?   * if you want to transmit that, with which hardware?  * what exactly is "continuous wave" for you here? Continuous for a    single    frequency step, or continuous across multiple frequencies?
