Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] General question concerning usrp & audio

[Thomas Seidel]

Thanks a lot for your help!

file2.py now looks like this:

class soundcheck(gr.top_block):

   def __init__(self):
     gr.top_block.__init__(self)
 
     self.decim_rate = 256
     self.u = usrp.source_c(0, self.decim_rate)
 
     self.rx_subdev_spec = usrp.pick_rx_subdevice(self.u)
     self.subdev = usrp.selected_subdev(self.u, self.rx_subdev_spec)
     self.input_rate = self.u.adc_freq() / self.decim_rate

    res = self.u.tune(0, self.subdev, 13.56e6)
    if res:
       print 'frequency successfully changed to 13.56Mhz'
    else:
      print 'tuning failed'
     sys.exit(1)


    interp = gru.lcm(self.input_rate, 48000) / self.input_rate
    decim = gru.lcm(self.input_rate, 48000) / 48000
    interp = int(interp)
   decim = int(decim)
 
   print 'interp = %d, decim = %d' % (interp, decim)
   rr = blks2.rational_resampler_ccc(interp, decim)


   self.sndsink = audio.sink(48000, 'plughw:0,0')
   self.magblk = gr.complex_to_mag()
   self.connect(self.u, rr, self.magblk, (self.sndsink, 0))


As one can see I added the reational_resampler_ccc(), hoping that it does the 
magic work needed that I can hear a nice sine wave, but still there is only 
noise. On the transmitting side a gr.sig_source_c(48000, gr.GR_SIN_WAVE, 4000, 
1000) is used with the interpolation of the USRP set to a factor of 32. Maybe I 
still lack of a proper understanding of the whole issue so that I would really 
appreciate your help.
