Decoding latitude and longitude from recored signal BladeRF #251

Open wojciechkrukar opened 5 years ago

wojciechkrukar commented 5 years ago

I am trying to obtain longitude and latitude from the recorded GPS signal with BladeRF. I have trouble decoding it with GNS-SDR v0.0.10. on ubuntu 18.04

Antenna 17dB gain. The IQ signal looks pretty good when inspecting signal intensity (python) yet using the configuration file I have trouble obtaining fix of Longitude and Latitude.

Here is configuration of BladeRF: Bias Tee (RX1): on RX1 Frequency: 1575419998 Hz (Range: [70000000, 6000000000]) Frequency: 1575419998 Hz (Range: [70000000, 6000000000]) RX1 Bandwidth: 5000000 Hz (Range: [200000, 56000000]) Setting RX1 sample rate

req: 8000000 0/1Hz, actual: 8000000 0/1Hz

State: Running Channels: RX1 Last error: None File: /home/research/Desktop/GPS_IQ_recorded_data_1ch(SR8M_BW5M).bin

File format: SC16 Q11, Binary Samples: 503316480 Buff ers: 32 Samples per buffer: 32768 Transfers: 16 Timeout (ms): 1000

I am working with two configuration files but it feels like I am barking at the wrong tree. I have some form of synchronization but no position. Here are links to configuration files I am fiddling with. https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/blob/next/conf/gnss-sdr_GPS_L1_bladeRF.conf

and of course, with the original file for the first fix https://gnss-sdr.org/my-first-fix/

the bin file is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HcN5dvYeI3lt41_sBCEAqFowGH0N4c4k/view?usp=sharing

Could you please help? I need to admit I am fairly new to the GNSS-SDR technology. Is there special software configuration or installation outside of GNSS – SDR necessary? Is there any good tutorial on how to deal with such file coming from BladeRF? Or maybe an obvious way to set parameters in the config file + some additional drivers required? Thanks, Mark

Hi. You're saying you have 17dB of antenna gain but you're processing a file - which is true? Where from you got the file of samples? What you mean by signal intensity?

Please see previous issues on bladeRF: https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/issues/233 https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/issues/243 https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/issues/226

paste you're actuall config file and output of the gnss-sdr b.r. oskar

The pipeline in my project is that I will be receiving a raw files from the field and build *.gpx . The antenna in the contraption of my supplier has gain of 17dB. The reason I posted this info is that it could be important clue for troubleshooting. I'll follow your suggestion and come back with update. Thank you, Mark
