Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Very low packet loss rate for the discontinuous BPSK communications- the analysis and looking for solution

[Alex Zhang]

Thanks you all.

I will try to adjust th loop_bw in the fll firstly to see what happened.

And I am not understanding the function advance_loop(error) well:

void
gri_control_loop::advance_loop(float error)
{
  d_freq = d_freq + d_beta * error;
  d_phase = d_phase + d_freq + d_alpha * error;
}

I am not clear why d_freq and d_phase are updated in this way. Is the d_freq the frequency offset estimate every step?

According to the http://www.trondeau.com/blog/2011/8/13/control-loop-gain-values.html , i have a rough picture on this, but still confused why d_freq is only dependent on d_beta.

The other question is: Is it possible to turn off the loop when there is no input signal (only noise) and turn on the loop when signal is detected?

If possible, how to update hte d_freq and d_phase?

Also hand tune to make sure the frequencies of the transmitter and
receiver are as close as you can get them. The slowest loop in this
chain is the frequency lock loop, so overcome that by hand and see
what happens.
