Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] error while making detector

[Marcus Müller]

There's already blocks that do energy calculation, so you really don't have to implement this yourself.
In fact, I wrote a short answer on a similar question just yesterday. The question there was how to add a method "get_bandpower" to a C++ block, so here's the excerpt from
http://stackoverflow.com/a/33901845/4433386
where I explained other ways than implementing this yourself:

Other than that, there's already blocks that can do what you want:

• Probe Avg Mag²: has a method level() which does the same as your get_bandpower (aside from the √(.) )
• Complex to Mag ⟶ Decimating FIR Filter ⟶ Probe Signal: does the √(Re²+Im²), before passing it on to a filter with 123 (that was just my arbitrary fixed length) taps of 1/length, and decimating it to one value every average. Result get send to the Signal Probe, which has a signal() method, which does what your get_bandpower does. CPU load of this is relatively small -- it's really just the magnitude finding for every sample, and then 123 real multiplications + 123 real additions per 123 samples,in the filter, all SIMD increased, so basically, less than 1 FMAC per sample.
• Complex to Mag ⟶ Moving Average ⟶ Probe Signal: Names say it all. Nothing magical here.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

 

I have followed the URL you recommended, but  I want to use gnuradio to do energy detection , so I follow the howto infrastructure and want to learn more about  it by building a new block. Is there any suggestion about how to make anergy detection?

 

Thanks,

 

Yan

Hi Yan,

which tutorial exactly where you following (URL)?
I recommend using the Guided Tutorials for beginners; they are much better illustrated, and they don't need the sometimes broken howto infrastructure.

Hey,

I’m a new to use gnuradio and USRP B210, now I want to generate my OOT module start with the example ‘howto_detect’, and I followed guided tutorial in gnuradio.org. But there are still some problems as follows.
