Detailed Description

USRP Sink – Radio Transmitter

The USRP sink block reads a stream and transmits the samples. The sink block also provides API calls for transmitter settings. See also gr::uhd::usrp_block for more public API calls.

TX Stream tagging

The following tag keys will be consumed by the work function:

pmt::string_to_symbol("tx_sob")
pmt::string_to_symbol("tx_eob")
pmt::string_to_symbol("tx_time")
pmt::string_to_symbol("tx_freq")
pmt::string_to_symbol("tx_command")
pmt::string_to_symbol(tsb_tag_name)

Any other tag will be ignored.

Bursty Transmission

There are multiple ways to do bursty transmission without triggering underruns:

Using SOB/EOB tags
Using tagged streams (See Tagged Stream Blocks)

The sob and eob (start and end of burst) tag values are pmt booleans. When present, burst tags should be set to true (pmt::PMT_T).

If tsb_tag_name is not an empty string, all "tx_sob" and "tx_eob" tags will be ignored, and the input is assumed to a tagged stream.

If sob/eob tags or length tags are used, this block understands that the data is bursty, and will configure the USRP to make sure there's no underruns after transmitting the final sample of a burst.

Timestamps

The timestamp tag value is a PMT tuple of the following: (uint64 seconds, double fractional seconds).

The tx_freq tag has to be a double or a pair of form (channel, frequency), with frequency being a double and channel being an integer. This tag will trigger a tune command to the USRP to the given frequency, if possible. Note that oscillators need some time to stabilize after this! Don't expect clean data to be sent immediately after this command. If channel is omitted, and only a double is given, it will set this frequency to all channels.

The command tag can carry a PMT command. See the following section.

Command interface

There are two ways of passing commands to this block:

tx_command tag. The command is attached to a sample, and will executed before the sample is transmitted, and after the previous sample.
The 'command' message port. The command is executed asynchronously, as soon as possible.

In both cases, the payload of the command is a PMT command, as described in Section Command Syntax.

For a more general description of the gr-uhd components, see UHD Interface.

chan	the channel index 0 to N-1

virtual void gr::uhd::usrp_sink::set_start_time ( const ::uhd::time_spec_t & time )

pure virtual

Set the start time for outgoing samples. To control when samples are transmitted, set this value before starting the flow graph. The value is cleared after each run. When not specified, the start time will be:

Immediately for the one channel case
in the near future for multi-channel

Parameters

time	the absolute time for transmission to begin
