Introduction:
GNU Radio is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3. All of the
code is copyright of the Free Software Foundation. While all the applications are implemented
using python language while critical signal processing path is done using C++ language.
GNU Radio is a free and open-source software development toolkit that provides signal
processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily available low-cost
external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulationlike environment.
Every flow graph should contain atleast one source and destination blocks.
Signal Source block is used to generate an analog waveform (e.g. Triangle)
in the host machine. This block acts like signal generator
The Throttle block is used limit the processing power of the system. It
avoids number of CPU cycles eating up to execute the flow graph. Set the
sample rate accordingly. The sampling rate is set to the incoming sample
rate
Convert stream of chars to a stream of float. The arguments that can be passed
are
vlen: vector length of data streams.
scale: a scalar divider to change the output signal scale
The audio sink can have multiple inputs depending upon your hardware.
For example, set the inputs to 2 for stereo audio
The WX GUI Scope sink is the destination block of the flow chart. This block is
used to view the time domain representation of the output. The simulation
output of the received signal is seen with this block.
The WX GUI FFT sink is the destination block of the flow chart. This block is
used to view the frequency domain representation of the output. The simulation
output of the received signal is seen with this block. There are parameters which
can be used to view the graph in more detail
