Using band-edge filters for carrier frequency recovery with an FLL is an interesting technique that has been studied by fred harris and others. Usually this technique is presented for root-raised cosine waveforms, and in this post I will limit myself to this case. The intuitive idea of a band-edge FLL is to use two filters… Continue reading About FLLs with band-edge filters| Daniel Estévez
Since some years ago, a Doppler correction block has been available in gr-satellites. This block uses a text file that defines a time series of frequency versus time, and applies the appropriate frequency shift to each sample by linearly interpolating the frequency corresponding to the time of that particular sample. It can be used both… Continue reading Time-dependent delay in GNU Radio| Daniel Estévez
MOVE-II is a cubesat from Technical University of Munich that was launched in December 2018. It transmits telemetry in the 145 MHz amateur satellite band using a protocol that uses CCSDS LDPC codewords. Back in the day, there was a GNU Radio out-of-tree module developed by the satellite team to decode this satellite. Given the additional effort required to support LDPC decoding for just this satellite and since there was already a GNU Radio decoder available, I never added a decoder for MOVE-...| Daniel Estévez
Since 2021 I have been collaborating with the Berkeley SETI Research Center Breakthrough Listen Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program by giving some GNU Radio tutorials. This year, the tutorials have been recorded and they are now available in the BSRC Tech YouTube channel (actually they have been there since the end of August, but I only realized just now).| Daniel Estévez
