Broadcast FM has a channel bandwidth of 150 kHz, so a sampling rate of 200 or 256 ksps should work fine. Don't confuse the sampling rate of the zero-IF data with the sampling rate of the front-end, which is 64 msps (USRP1) or 100 msps (USRP2).
The UHD API tends to hide this. In the old classic interface, you directly set the decimation factor, so you had to know the hardware sample rate in order to know what sample rate you would end up with. @(^.^)@ Ed
Sent from my iPod Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply. But I am not sure whether I understand what you said. My understanding is that the WBX converts RF signal into baseband signal directly, while for TVRX2, the RF signal is converted into low IF signal firstly by TVRX2 and then converted into basebad signal by USRP's FPGA. Am I right?
Then, what is the sampling rate should I set to sample the signal of interest. For example, FM radio signal at 106.3MHz. Best regards, Jamie On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 12:34 AM, Nick Foster <address@hidden> wrote:
Jamie,
WBX is a direct-conversion receiver, meaning there is no IF: it is a quadrature receiver where the LO frequency is equal to the RF frequency.
TVRX2 is a low-IF receiver using a 12.5MHz IF.
Both daughterboards can be treated as zero-IF direct conversion receivers for tuning purposes, as the digital downconverter in the USRP's FPGA will downconvert any residual IF to baseband before returning samples to the host. In other words, when you tune the USRP to 2.2GHz, the resulting samples will have a center frequency of 2.2GHz.
Best, Nick
Hi all,
As far as I know the maximum sampling rate for USRP N210 is 25M sps. To receive signal with high frequency, such as 300 MHz to 2.2 GH, the RF front end converts the RF into IF, so the ADC can sample the IF signal. My question is what the IF value is for daughter-board WBX? Where can I reset the immediate frequency of the daughter-board, such as WBX and TVRX2?
It may be a simple question, but I cannot find the answer. Any explanation will be appreciated.
Best regards, Jamie
