Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] audio sink issue

[Marcus Müller]

Hello Sreena,

the frequency translating FIR translates and then filters, ie. it moves your baseband signal to -19kHz and then filters a 1kHz band around 0Hz -- thus cutting away all your signal.

By the way: I assume you want to produce sounds at 19kHz with your built-in sound card: you won't hear much [1] unless you're very young, and your sound card has wide filters -- most cost-conscious soundcards will simply have only exactly one very simple analog filter with a cutoff frequency around 20kHz, and don't pay much attention to a narrow transition width, since humans won't easily notice attenuation in frequencies they can barely perceive anymore, and most speakers won't be linear at high frequencies, either.

Greetings,
Marcus

Hi

I am trying to implement the following acoustic communication transmitter with PC

File Source --> Packet encoder --> gmsk mod --> Rational resampler     --> Frequency Xlating FIR filter  --> comp to real --> audio sink

Pc has inbuilt sound card. packet encoder is taking 8 samples per symbol, Resampler interpolates samples by 500, FIR filter is set at 19k carrier frequency and 1K bandwidth. 

The problem is that I wont get any sort of output at the audio sink. I added an GUI FFT sink at the end of FIR filter, it also showed now output. Please tell what's gone wrong. I am using gnuradio 3.7.4 version.

Thanks in advance
