How to calculate SNR and BER using USRP 2920 with LFTX and LFRX daugher boards.

I have few questions regarding SNR and BER measurement:
I am using two USRP 2920 with daughter boards LFTX and LFRX. One is completely Tx and anothe one is completely Rx. I have following few questions:
Q1: How to control/change Energy per bit (Eb) in LabView? Since for calculating BER you have to increase SNR, and for increasing SNR you have to increase Eb. So can anybody guide me how to increase Eb in LabView?
Q2: Can any body tell me about the noise floor of the above mentioned daughter boards?
Q3: How to set the transmit power of the USRP in LabView? What is the maximum power the above mentioned daughter boards can provide and How should I adjust the "Gain" parameter to transmit the signal with the maximun power?
Thanks
JK 

Hi JK,
The energy per bit calculation, as I understand it, is the ratio of the signal power to the bit rate. This means that to increase it, you have to either increase the overall power you are transmitting or decrease the user bit rate. In LabVIEW, you would do this by increasing the gain or by decreasing the IQ rate.
I'm not sure of the noise floor on those boards, but I did have a question. The USRP 2920 is sold in a particular configuration. Did you take it apart and put in the LFTX and LFRX boards? Or is it an Ettus board with these daughterboards attached?

  • My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

    My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

    I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

  • How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?

    How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?
    Here is a fictional sample layout of the data I have from My_Source_Query:
    Customer | VIN | Year | Make | Odometer | ... followed by 350 more columns/fields
    123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda | 1900 |
    123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 |
    456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford | 45586 |
    876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332 |
    ... followed by up to 25 more rows of data from this query.
    The exact number of records returned by My_Source_Query is unknown ahead of time, but should be less than 25 even under extreme situations.
    Here is how I would like the data to be:
    Column1 |Column2 |Column3 |Column4 |Column5 |
    Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876 |
    VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE |
    Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010 |
    Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes|
    Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332 |
    ... followed by 350 more rows with the names of the columns/fields from the My_Source_Query.
    From reading and trying many, many, many of the posting on this topic I understand that the unknown number or rows in My_Source_Query can be a problem and have considered working with one row at a time until each row has been converted to a column.
    If possible I'd like to find a way of doing this conversion from rows to columns using a query instead of scripts if that is possible. I am a novice at this so any help is welcome.
    This is a repost. I originally posted this question to the wrong forum. Sorry about that.

    The permission level that I have in the Oracle environment is 'read only'. This is also be the permission level of the users of the query I am trying to build.
    As requested, here is the 'create' SQL to build a simple table that has the type of data I am working with.
    My real select query will have more than 350 columns and the rows returned will be 25 rows of less, but for now I am prototyping with just seven columns that have the different data types noted in my sample data.
    NOTE: This SQL has been written and tested in MS Access since I do not have permission to create and populate a table in the Oracle environment and ODBC connections are not allowed.
    CREATE TABLE tbl_MyDataSource
    (Customer char(50),
    VIN char(50),
    Year char(50),
    Make char(50),
    Odometer long,
    InvDate date,
    Amount currency)
    Here is the 'insert into' to populate the tbl_MyDataSource table with four sample records.
    INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
    SELECT "123", "321XYZ", "2012", "Honda", "1900", "2/15/2012", "987";
    INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
    VALUES ("123", "432ABC", "2012", "Toyota", "2300", "1/10/2012", "6546");
    INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
    VALUES ("456", "999PDQ", "2000", "Ford", "45586", "4/25/2002", "456");
    INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
    VALUES ("876", "888QWE", "2010", "Mercedes", "38332", "10/13/2010", "15973");
    Which should produce a table containing these columns with these values:
    tbl_MyDataSource:
    Customer     VIN     Year     Make     Odometer     InvDate          Amount
    123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda      | 1900          | 2/15/2012     | 987.00
    123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 | 1/10/2012     | 6,546.00
    456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford     | 45586          | 4/25/2002     | 456.00
    876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332          | 10/13/2010     | 15,973.00
    The desired result is to use Oracle 9i to convert the columns into rows using sql without using any scripts if possible.
    qsel_MyResults:
    Column1          Column2          Column3          Column4          Column5
    Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876
    VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE
    Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010
    Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes
    Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332
    InvDate | 2/15/2012 | 1/10/2012 | 4/25/2002 | 10/13/2010
    Amount | 987.00 | 6,546.00 | 456.00 | 15,973.00
    The syntax in SQL is something I am not yet sure of.
    You said:
    >
    "Don't use the same name or alias for two different things. if you have a table called t, then don't use t as an alais for an in-line view. Pick a different name, like ordered_t, instead.">
    but I'm not clear on which part of the SQL you are suggesting I change. The code I posted is something I pieced together from some of the other postings and is not something I full understand the syntax of.
    Here is my latest (failed) attempt at this.
    select *
      from (select * from tbl_MyDataSource) t;
    with data as
    (select rownum rnum, t.* from (select * from t order by c1) ordered_t), -- changed 't' to 'ordered_t'
    rows_to_have as
    (select level rr from dual connect by level <= 7 -- number of columns in T
    select rnum,
           max(decode(rr, 1, c1)),
           max(decode(rr, 2, c2)),
           max(decode(rr, 3, c3)),
           max(decode(rr, 4, c3)),      
           max(decode(rr, 5, c3)),      
           max(decode(rr, 6, c3)),      
           max(decode(rr, 7, c3)),       
      from data, rows_to_have
    group by rnumIn the above code the "select * from tbl_MyDataSource" is a place holder for my select query which runs without error and has these exact number of fields and data types as order shown in the tbl_MyDataSource above.
    This code produces the error 'ORA-00936: missing expression'. The error appears to be starting with the 'with data as' line if I am reading my PL/Sql window correctly. Everything above that row runs without error.
    Thank you for your great patients and for sharing your considerable depth of knowledge. Any help is gratefully welcomed.

    Hi Tgordineer,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

    I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

  • How to select "ISO A" (auto) using Custom Controls with lever assigned to ISO change?

    On 7D Mark II with firmware 1.0.4, I have used Custom Controls to assign ISO change to the lever.  However, it is not possible to change ISO to "ISO A" (auto).  How to select "ISO A" (auto) using Custom Controls with lever assigned to ISO change? 

    Follow Up:
    Ok so ive changed things up a bit and have had some more success.
    I have used a Switch statement in my For loop to perform different actions based on the item selected.
    The code looks like this:
    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
    var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*] .Row4.Cell1");
    var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[* ].Row4.Cell1");
    for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
         switch (fFrom.item(i).rawValue)
         case "Option 3":
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = "Enter the details in the field below";
         break;
         default:
         fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
         break;
    This code solves my problem but has thrown up a new issue:
    When i select Option 1 or 2 from the dropdown list  the change in the text field is instantaneous, however if I select Option 3 it wont appear in the text field until I either select Option 3 a second time or select another item. Its as if the text field is a selction behind what I have enterd in the dropdown list.
    Any thoughts?
