Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM Implementation

As far as I know there's no open source code for an OFDM transceiver available. I was trying to build one half a year back but wasn't successful before I had to move on to something else. The benchmark_ofdm code will give you a simplex OFDM system. Ie you can run the transmitter on 1 USRP and receiver on another. 

Ie. run this on 1 USRP
./benchmark_ofdm_tx.py -f 2.412G

And this on the other
./benchmark_ofdm_rx.py -f 2.412G

The value of the frequency depends on the daughterboards you're using. If you're using USRP1 make sure the decimation rate is 1/2 of the interpolation rate as the ADC is 2 times faster than the DAC on the USRP1 (or the other way around, you should chek that).

Watch out for the frequency offset, it killed the system for me. If the above doesn't work, run the transmitter on 1 USRP and usrp_fft.py on the other. Check the center frequency of the FFT plot and manually adjust the receiver center frequency. I used the RFX2400 boards and the offset for me was ~ 40kHz.

Good luck,
Johnny

see carefully....... it has a gmsk modulator in the bottom.u can make the
bottom modulator part in another pc

benchmark programs are quite good to start with...
u can type benchmark_ofdm.py -h to see all the parameters u can play with.
