Re: Spectrum_sense of a smaller banwidth

Thank you for the replies Eric!

1.You
said about using file_sink , but in my case I do not think that will
work because I need to make real time precessing of the signal. If I
use files it will take to long.
2. My theses is about simulating
the acquisition of 2 signals (co-polar and cross-polar ) from a
satellite (10.7 Mhz) and estimate their amplitudes and relative phase.
So the first thing I am trying to do is to estimate the co-polar having
an SNR of 14 db and the power about 10dbm. To do that I have set the
NCO 10.7Mhz, and decim_rate to 256 in order to bring the signal to its
base-band and I was thinking of creating a loop of let’s say 10 times
in which we acquire 256 or 512 samples using a window, perform the fft
and from here to extract the maximum power bin and it’s frquency,
perform an avarage on this powers and the display the result in a
window.

I got stucked on this for almost 2 weeks.:frowning:

Thank you

Try looking up “carrier tracking” on line or in a good digital
communications textbook.
