I have developed a transceiver application to run with XCVR2450 on USRP N210. My transceiver class has been created as follows:
class my_trans(gr.top_block):
def __init__(self, mod_class, demod_class, rx_callback, rx_callback2, options):
gr.top_block.__init__(self)
# Get the modulation's bits_per_symbol args = mod_class.extract_kwargs_from_options(options)
symbol_rate = options.bitrate / mod_class(**args).bits_per_symbol()
self.sink = uhd_transmitter(options.args, symbol_rate, options.samples_per_symbol,
options.tx_freq, options.tx_gain, options.spec, options.antenna,
options.verbose) self.txpath = transmit_path(mod_class, options)
self.connect(self.txpath, self.sink) # Get the demodulation's bits_per_symbol
args = demod_class.extract_kwargs_from_options(options) symbol_rate = options.bitrate / demod_class(**args).bits_per_symbol()
self.source = uhd_receiver(options.args, symbol_rate, options.samples_per_symbol,
options.rx_freq, options.rx_gain, options.spec, options.rx_antenna,
options.verbose)
options.samples_per_symbol = self.source._sps self.rxpath = receive_path(demod_class, rx_callback, rx_callback2, options)
self.connect(self.source, self.rxpath)For testing, I set up one transceiver as a pure transmitter and another as a pure receiver. The invocations were:
./transmitter.py -f 2.4G -A J1 --rx-freq=5G --rx-antenna=J2./receiver.py -f 5G -A J1 --rx-freq=2.4G --rx-antenna=J2
where f and A refer to the transmit frequency and antenna respectively. However, even though the transmitter reports transmission of packets (code pattern similar to benchmark programs), the receiver is unable to receive any packets. Strangely, if I run a pure transmitter without a receiver component as in the original benchmark programs, the packets are received correctly by the receiver program. I find this baffling, since I have used separate frequencies and antennae for transmission and reception. I had previously run a similar program on WBX daughterboard successfully. Could someone please explain what's going on here?
