Parameters of benchmark_ofdm_tx.py?

GNU Radio

Hi,

are there any parameter that I can modify benchmark_ofdm_tx.py for
number of
subchannels, or amplitude of each subchannels?
Also, I want to save the data with benchmark_ofdm_tx.py and
benchmark_ofdm_rx.py adding

self.connect(self.txpath, gr.file_sink (gr.sizeof_gr_complex,
“data.dat”))

self.connect(self.rxpath, gr.file_sink (gr.sizeof_gr_complex,
“data.dat”))

does it make sense?
I don’t know why but I have error in ofdm_rx.py.
Thank you for your help.

./benchmark_ofdm_tx.py --help

That will tell you the command-line arguments you can use.
“–fft-length” is the number of subcarriers, “–occupied-tones” is the
number of use dsubcarriers. You can’t do anything about modulation or
amplitude per subchannel, though.

The txpath returns a complex stream, so the first connect will work. The
rxpath does not return anything; it passes messages back through a
message queue. Look in the rxpath and you can tap out different parts.
Also, if you use “–log” on the command line, it will dump most of the
blocks to their own .dat files.

Also, in the future, it would be nice to know what the error you’re
getting is. I’m just guessing that this is your problem.
