I recently got access to a USRP with some of the daughterboards and wanted to noodle around with some DVB-T stuff. However, I can’t seem to find any downloads for Vincenzo P.'s Soft-DVB code. Could someone point me in the right direction (or at least point out what links I missed)? I suspect this is a RTFW, and I’m about to feel really stupid … 🙂 Thanks, -a ---

Hi Andrew, Vincenzo’s code is, to my best knowledge, neither open source nor available on the webs. MB – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Communications Engineering Lab (CEL) Dipl.-Ing.

Hi everybody, so far I have not released the Soft-DVB code for a bunch of reasons, which include Soft-DVB code base being one of the main tools of our MA research here at DSPCoLa, Universit di Pisa. Still I can easily provide fully compliant DVB-T signal dumps to everybody who is willing to experiment with DVB-T signals over the USRP. I’m also willing to cooperate at various levels with related OFDM / DVB-T projects Regards to all. vincenzo 2011/4/12 Martin B.

I know that this has come up before, but I still would like to encourage you to rethink this position. You could raise the profile of DSPCoLa by making the code open source under some (e.g. BSD-style) license that assures credit. Research will only improve with feedback and more people will see your name and the name of your research institution. Win-win strategy, don’t you agree? Best regards, Jens ---
