[Discuss-gnuradio] Homing in on an RA detector chain

[Marcus Leech]

Here's a snippet of code that is a modified version of 
gr_probe_avg_mag_sqrd_c.cc:

int
> gr_total_power_cf::work(int noutput_items,
>                gr_vector_const_void_star &input_items,
>                gr_vector_void_star &output_items)
> {
>   const gr_complex *in = (const gr_complex *) input_items[0];
>   double *out = (double *)output_items[0];
>   for (int i = 0; i < noutput_items; i++){
>     double mag_sqrd = in[i].real()*in[i].real() + in[i].imag()*in[i].imag();
>     out[i] = d_iir.filter(mag_sqrd);
>   }
>
>
>   return noutput_items;
> }

I think what I would like to do after the IIR filter is to decimate down to
 a much-lower sample rate--probably some small multiple of the "corner"
 frequency of the IIR filter.  Can I call the gr_sync_decimator directly inside 
my
 work function here, and how?

I admit to never having become a C++ programmer.  I'm one of those dinosaurs
 who learned C back in 1979, and it pretty-much "stuck".
