ADALM PLUTO SDR

You can use iio-oscilloscope to plot the signal received on Rx. You can use a loopback cable between Rx and Tx to check out what was received.

Alternatively from the AD9361 Advanced iio-oscilloscope plugin, from the BIST tab, you can set Digital Tx->Digital Rx loopback. 

Thank you so much, ASuciu

I have another question, I am using two Adam Pluto, one for the transmitter and the other for receiving. 

Even though, I config the center frequency and baseband sample rate to be exactly the same for two Adalm Pluto, however, when I try to plot the received signal, the received signal is look like a distorted amplitude.  (Please refer to figure 1 and Figure 2). Can you tell me why it is happening with the received signal?

Thank you so much

Figure 1: transmitted signal

Figure 2: Received signal

There is a configurable attenuation on the receive path.

The inputs can be scaled using automatic gain control (AGC) so the receiver sensitivity is scaled according to the received signal. 

Thank you so much,

Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

Hi ASuciu, 

I am having a problem with Adalm Pluto.  Sometimes, It looks like the receiver does not receive any signal from the transmitter. The received signal is only noise ( please refer to the attached figure). I tried with two scenarios: (1) transmitter and receiver are implemented on the same Adalm Pluto. (2) transmitter and receiver are implemented on different Adalm Plutos. But the problem was happening with both scenarios. Can you help me to overcome this problem? 

Thank you so much!

Are you using the transmitRepeat functionality on the transmitter? Can you provide a simplified example?

Hi, travisfcollins 

I am using Adalm Pluto to transmit PSK ( narrow band signal) by using transmitRepeat function. At the receiver, I configured a rxPluto to receive the wireless signal. 

Can you provide the rest of the code where you are moving data?

Hi Travis,

This is my program that is used for transmitting and receiving the RF signals by Adalm Pluto.

fsampling = 7.5e6;
rxPluto = sdrrx('Pluto','BasebandSampleRate', 7.5e6, 'CenterFrequency',2402225000, 'RadioID','usb:1'); %2402225000, 2411600000, 2411756000
rxPluto.ShowAdvancedProperties = true;
rxPluto.SamplesPerFrame = 24700;
rxPluto.GainSource = 'AGC Fast Attack';
rxPluto.Gain = 70;
rxPluto.EnableQuadratureCorrection = true;
rxPluto.FrequencyCorrection = 0;
txPluto = sdrtx('Pluto','BasebandSampleRate', 7.5e6, 'CenterFrequency',2402225000,'RadioID','usb:1'); % 241256250
txPluto.ShowAdvancedProperties = true;
txPluto.FrequencyCorrection = 0;
% txPluto.BISTLoopbackMode = true;
txPluto.Gain = -20;
info(txPluto);

% info(txPluto);

Ts = 1/fsampling;
fc= 1e5;%mc*(1/Tb); % carrier frequency for bit 10
Ac = 1;
fi1=0; % carrier phase for bit 1
fi2=pi; % carrier phase for bit 0

N = 100; % transmit 128 bits payload + 4 bytes preamble
x_input = randi([0,1], N, 1) ;
Tb = 10*1e-6;
t2=Ts:Ts:Tb;
for (n=1:1:N)
if (x_input(n)==1)
x_mod0=Ac*cos(2*pi*fc*t2+fi1);%modulation signal with carrier signal 1
else
x_mod0=Ac*cos(2*pi*fc*t2+fi2);%modulation signal with carrier signal 2
end
x_mod = [x_mod x_mod0];
end
modSignal=(complex(x_mod)');

transmitRepeat(txPluto, modSignal); %doawnload basedband signal to radio and transmit.
received_signal = rxPluto();
received_signal = (received_signal);
r_n = real(received_signal)';
figure(1);
plot( r_n );

adding mod = [] and running your code with Pluto connected RX to TX with a cable I get:
