Hi Rahman,

 

Try broadening the bandwidth of the receiver to allow for the frequency offset between your USRP2s:

 

In /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnuradio/blks2impl

 

on line 67 look for "tb = bw*0.08"

 

change this to a higher value such as "tb = bw*1.5"

 

This works for me using usrps.

Guys,

I'm working on the same thing, I'm trying to receive something with OFDM example, USRP2 and XCVR boards. But it doesn't work. The transmitter is sending and the rx signal is crystal clear with spectrum analyzer but no packet is caught.

Could anyone of you send me the command you're using at both transmitter and receiver with benchmarks? I really appreciate it.

Thanks

Rahman

Hi Chris,

 

The default settings do drop alot of packets as you are seeing.

 

These are some of the things I've adjusted which happen to have brought my packet reception rate up to 99% using 1 USRP with a Basic RX and TX joined with a 10db attenuator:

 

- For benchmark_tx.py and benchmark_rx.py add '-m qpsk' to the command line for qpsk instead of bpsk.

- For benchmark_tx.py add '-s 4' to the command line to reduce the packet size sent.

- For benchmark_tx.py add '-d 1' to the command line to reduce the rate and change the benchmark_tx.py script to sleep for 0.01 seconds instead of 1.

- For benchmark_tx.py add '--tx-amplitude=3000' to the command line to boost the default output power.

- In transmit_path.py pad_for_usrp=true and msgq_limit=1

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Thank you Fisheep, you confirmed what I was thinking but, I don't Know why,
the packets are been received with no errors, I lost packets but the packets
that I receive are good.

I don't Know how GNU Radio implementation maps 1024 bytes over 200 carriers
with a bpsk modulation, and then the transmission it's OK.

Cheers
