XTRX signal issue

[arun1969]

I got new xtrx. installed driver on Ubuntu 19.04 from repo https://launchpad.net/~fairwaves/+archive/ubuntu/xtrx

and compiled osmo-trx from https://github.com/xtrx-sdr/osmo-trx

I can see signal on spectrum analyzer but phone can't register. I checked Spectrum analyzer not demodulating GMSK.

Let me what mistake i am doing.

I have captured tx IQ data writeSamples function in XTRXDevice.cpp got success in demodulating using matlab.

capture XTRX IQ data over the air and demodulate in matlab, no success. even i tried to capture data of a active GSM 2G of running BTS on bladerf and use same matlab code. it is decoding perfectly.

What is wrong with osmo-trx-xtrx radio interface code. there is no problem if i send sample data using test_xtrx.

Looking for valuable input

can any one succeeded using XTRX with osmo-trx. @chemeris requesting for response as it has been very frustrated.

I got a handset see the bts by swapping the I/Q on transmit after noticing that the frequency correction burst was flipped.

Try

-- a/Transceiver52M/device/xtrx/XTRXDevice.cpp
+++ b/Transceiver52M/device/xtrx/XTRXDevice.cpp
@@ -215,6 +215,10 @@ bool XTRXDevice::start()
                params.tx.flags |= XTRX_RSP_SWAP_AB | XTRX_RSP_SWAP_IQ;

        params.tx_repeat_buf = NULL;
        params.rx_stream_start = initialReadTimestamp();

This was in May, I believe on the fairwaves/libxtrx-wip branch at the time. Things may have changed since. This was just a quick try. There must be a better way to do this; or at the very least the iq swap should be done in the config file.

I haven't had a chance to continue to solve the next problem where the handset couldn't connect to the bts.

My setup was an xtrx-pro over usb-c.

Thanx For your Help It works in Tx Direction and i can see signal and able to decode in spectrum analyzer. but hand phone is not getting registered, no log on osmo-bts, osmo-bsc and wireshark.
