Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] transmitter receiving its own packet

[Marcus D. Leech]

Thanks Marcus for the explanation. Yes, we take care

of attenuating the signal along the RF-cable.

 

Can you explain bit more

“So the best approach is to simply set a bit in your application for your
  RX chain to simply ignore the RX samples while you're transmitting”.

 

can this be done in the python layer or do I have to touch the c++

layer? I am using ofdm as the physical layer (ofdm.py etc.).

 

Sorry, if all this sounds incoherent; I am still a newbee in this

field.

 

thanks and regards

Well, assuming you have  TX thread and an RX thread, you can signal to the RX thread, via a shared variable, or some such,
   that TX is currently in progress, and to please ignore any samples for a while, or some such thing.

I'll make the general comment that nobody can be really successful in SDR, if the 'S' part of it is a bit of a mystery to them.
   Real-world signal-processing solutions require things beyond the strictly-mathematical treatments of DSP you find in textbooks.
   In real systems, you need to implement algorithms that aren't strictly-mathematical in nature, and require some non-trivial
   understanding of familiar topics in  CS and computer-programming concepts.
