3 | 15 | horiz0n | h1. Osmocom TETRA MAC/PHY layer experimentation code |
4 | |||
5 | |||
6 | 1 | laforge | This code aims to implement the sending and receiving part of the |
7 | TETRA MAC/PHY layer. |
||
8 | |||
9 | If you read the ETSI EN 300 392-2 (TETRA V+D Air Interface), you will |
||
10 | find this code implementing the parts between the MAC-blocks (called |
||
11 | type-1 bits) and the bits that go to the DQPSK-modulator (type-5 bits). |
||
12 | |||
13 | It is most useful to look at Figure 8.5, 8.6, 9.3 and 19.12 of the |
||
14 | abovementioned specification in conjunction with this program. |

100 | 18 | laforge | * use demodulator in realtime with a [[Funcube_Dongle]]. Please use the "qthid":https://github.com/csete/qthid application to tune the dongle and adjust its gain/filter parameters for best reception result. This demodulator may also be used with other Softrock-type receivers by downconverting the intermediate frequency of a radio scanner to the complex baseband. |
101 | |||
102 | 15 | horiz0n | The output of the demodulator is a file containing one float value for each symbol, |
103 | 1 | laforge | containing the phase shift (in units of pi/4) relative to the previous symbol. |
104 | |||
105 | 18 | laforge | You can use the @float_to_bits@ program to convert the float values to unpacked bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte |

163 | 18 | laforge | h3. Receiver Program |
164 | 3 | horiz0n | |
165 | 18 | laforge | The main receiver program @tetra-rx@ expects an input file containing a stream of unpacked bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte. |
166 | |||
167 | 15 | horiz0n | h3. Transmitter Program |
168 | |||
169 | 18 | laforge | The main program conv_enc_test.c generates a single continuous downlink sync burst (SB), containing: |
170 | * a SYNC-PDU as block 1 |
||
171 | * a ACCESS-ASSIGN PDU as broadcast block |
||
172 | * a SYSINFO-PDU as block 2 |
||
173 | 5 | horiz0n | |
174 | 13 | horiz0n | Scrambling is set to 0 (no scrambling) for all elements of the burst. |
175 | 11 | horiz0n | |
176 | 15 | horiz0n | It does not actually modulate and/or transmit yet. |

178 | 11 | horiz0n | |
179 | 14 | horiz0n | h2. Quick example |
180 | |||
181 | 18 | laforge | assuming you have generated a file @samples.cfile@ at a sample rate of 195.312kHz (100MHz/512 == USRP2 at decimation 512) |
182 | 10 | horiz0n | |
183 | 6 | horiz0n | <pre> |
184 | 10 | horiz0n | ./src/demod/python/tetra-demod.py -i /tmp/samples.cfile -o /tmp/out.float -s 195312 -c 0 |
185 | 5 | horiz0n | ./src/float_to_bits /tmp/out.float /tmp/out.bits |
186 | 15 | horiz0n | ./src/tetra-rx /tmp/out.bits |
187 | 18 | laforge | </pre> |
188 | 1 | laforge | |
189 | Also, you may use pipes to glue the three programs running in different terminals together to achieve real time operation. |
||
190 | 15 | horiz0n | |
191 | <pre> |
||
192 | mkfifo /tmp/out.float |
||
193 | mkfifo /tmp/out.bits |
||
194 | ./src/demod/python/fcdp-tetra_demod.py -D hw:1,0 -o /tmp/out.float |
||
195 | ... |

197 | 15 | horiz0n | |
198 | 17 | laforge | The most user friendly way is the script osmosdr-tetra_demod_fft.py which is based on "gr-osmosdr":http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GrOsmoSDR and supports various radio hardware (OsmoSDR, RTLSDR, FCD, UHD) as well as IQ file input. |

200 | * Adjust the center frequency (-f) and gain (-g) according to your needs. |
||
201 | * Use left click in Wideband Spectrum window to roughly select a TETRA carrier. |
||
202 | 15 | horiz0n | * In Wideband Spectrum you may also tune by 1/4 of the bandwidth at once by clicking on the rightmost/leftmost spectrum side. |
203 | 1 | laforge | * Use left click in Channel Spectrum window to fine tune the carrier by clicking on the left or right side of the spectrum. |

213 | 1 | laforge | You may specify gr-osmosdr device arguments by using the --args commandline option. |
