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

[Alex Zhang]

Besides the tips mentioned in the previous mails, I am wondering if the carrier recovery can performed by adding proper preamble fore the burst mode bpsk communication. 

Several books mentioned that but did not provide more details;

for example:

Radio System Design for Telecommunication 

 By Roger L. Freeman

page 417.

Satellite Communication

 By Dharma Raj Cheruku

page 138

Especially the latter book, a preamble with 352 bits are used as carrier recovery, which is much faster than the my current FLL.

I am wondering if any guy who have similar implementation.

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.

Alex,
