Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] HELP: USRP1+WBXv3 "Overflow"

[Thesis 2015]

Good Day,

We are able to receive FM signals using the USRP1 with WBXv3 50-2200 having a 750cm solid wire that serves as an antenna. We were wondering how to modify the generated GRC python code. We are planning on changing the center frequency automatically with an interval of 200MHz in a specified time. Thank you.

Considering the saturation level of most commercial FM stations, using a simple whip antenna will prove more than adequate. While a wide-range log-periodic antenna might prove useful as you get farther into your research, especially for broadband signals requiring a directional antenna, using simpler tools while learning is usually beneficial.

I'm afraid you did not make a mistake -- the LP0410 [1] is specified for usage between 400 and 1200 MHz. Whilst it will still pick up some signal at frequencies below 400MHz, operating it at a quarter of the lower cutoff freq. will lead to very suboptimal results.

If you know your frequency range as well as you do, I recommend trying Ralph's proposed 1/2 wavelength monopole antenna.

Greetings,
Marcus

We're sorry. We made a mistake with the frequency range that the antenna could receive. It is actually 40MHz - 1.2GHz.
