Is There Any Tutorial for GNURadio Companion Signal Processing Blocks

Greetings USRP users and producers,

We have constructed an eggbeater antenna to take VHF signals coming from
amatuer radio satellites.
And today I did my first demodulation and listened to a beacon signal.
While trying to implement
demodulation technique, I saw there are lots of useful signal processing
blocks that probably leaves
maybe nothing to dofor basic telecommunication systems applications, may
be they are much better.

There are a few web sites in which we can find really good and working
designs, but is there any tutorial,
web site, or even abook in which we can find details of what signal
processing blocks provided by GRCdo?
For example in ablockthere is something alpha, beta etc. but a
beginnerprobablycannot know what it is,
is it alpha network for instance, or some blocks though I took a course
of telecommunication systems,in
just one courseall the related topics probably cannot be covered.

For pleasure of consumer :), is not there any tutorial in which we can
find whatparameters of any GRC blockmean, :slight_smile: ?

Thanks,
Abdullah

Many of the blocks have Doxygen-provided help information in the GRC
properties menu for the block. For those that don’t, the best recourse
is to read the source code of the block itself, unfortunately. Most of
the blocks follow the “usual conventions” found in popular DSP
textbooks, so a Costas loop should look like the Costas loop in your
textbook.

Feel free to ask more specific questions about blocks as well, if
there’s no explanation in the Doxygen text for the block.
