gnuradio.digital.extract_kwargs_from_options(function, excluded_args, options)

Given a function, a list of excluded arguments and the result of parsing command line options, create a dictionary of key word arguments suitable for passing to the function. The dictionary will be populated with key/value pairs where the keys are those that are common to the function’s argument list (minus the excluded_args) and the attributes in options. The values are the corresponding values from options unless that value is None. In that case, the corresponding dictionary entry is not populated.

(This allows different modulations that have the same parameter names, but different default values to coexist. The downside is that –help in the option parser will list the default as None, but in that case the default provided in the __init__ argument list will be used since there is no kwargs entry.)

Parameters:
  • function – the function whose parameter list will be examined
  • excluded_args – function arguments that are NOT to be added to the dictionary (sequence of strings)
  • options – result of command argument parsing (optparse.Values)
gnuradio.digital.extract_kwargs_from_options_for_class(cls, options)

gnuradio.digital.qam32_holeinside_constellation(large_ampls_to_corners=False)
gnuradio.digital.make_differential_constellation(m, gray_coded)

Create a constellation with m possible symbols where m must be a power of 4.

Points are laid out in a square grid.

Bits referring to the quadrant are differentilly encoded, remaining bits are gray coded.

gnuradio.digital.make_non_differential_constellation(m, gray_coded)
gnuradio.digital.qam_constellation(constellation_points=16, differential=True, mod_code='none', large_ampls_to_corners=False)

Creates a QAM constellation object.

If large_ampls_to_corners=True then sectors that are probably occupied due to a phase offset, are not mapped to the closest constellation point. Rather we take into account the fact that a phase offset is probably the problem and map them to the closest corner point. It’s a bit hackish but it seems to improve frequency locking.

gnuradio.digital.soft_dec_table_generator(soft_dec_gen, prec, Es=1)
Builds a LUT that is a list of tuples. The tuple represents the
soft decisions for the constellation/bit mapping at any given
point in the complex space, (x,y).

The table is built to a precision specified by the ‘prec’
argument. There are (2x2)^prec samples in the sample space, so we
get the precision of 2^prec samples in both the real and imaginary
axes.

The space is represented where index 0 is the bottom left corner
and the maximum index is the upper left. The table index for a
surface space with 4 bits of precision looks like the following:

240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 | 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255

We then calculate coordinates from -1 to 1 with 2^prec points for
both the x and y axes. We then sample starting at (-1, -1) and
move left to right on the x-axis and then move up a row on the
y-axis. For every point in this sampled space, we calculate the
soft decisions for the given constellation/mapping. This is done
by passing in the function ‘soft_dec_gen’ as an argument to this
function. This takes in the x/y coordinates and outputs the soft
decisions. These soft decisions are stored into the list at the
index from the above table as a tuple.

The function ‘calc_from_table’ takes in a point and reverses this
operation. It converts the point from the coordinates (-1,-1) to
(1,1) into an index value in the table and returns the tuple of
soft decisions at that index.

Es is the maximum energy per symbol. This is passed to the
function to provide the bounds when calling the generator function
since they don’t know how the constellation was normalized. Using
the (maximum) energy per symbol for constellation allows us to
provide any scaling of the constellation (normalized to sum to 1,
normalized so the outside points sit on +/-1, etc.) but still
calculate the soft decisions as we would given the full
constellation.
gnuradio.digital.soft_dec_table(constel, symbols, prec, npwr=1)

Similar in nature to soft_dec_table_generator above. Instead, this takes in the constellation and symbol points along with the noise power estimate and uses calc_soft_dec (below) to generate the LUT.

Instead of assuming that the constellation is normalied (e.g., all points are between -1 and 1), this function calculates the min/max of both the real and imaginary axes and uses those when constructing the LUT. So when using this version of the LUT, the samples and the constellations must be working on the same magnitudes.

Because this uses the calc_soft_dec function, it can be quite a bit more expensive to generate the LUT, though it should be one-time work.

gnuradio.digital.calc_soft_dec_from_table(sample, table, prec, Es=1.0)

Takes in a complex sample and converts it from the coordinates (-1,-1) to (1,1) into an index value. The index value points to a location in the provided LUT ‘table’ and returns the soft decisions tuple at that index.

sample: the complex sample to calculate the soft decisions from.

table: the LUT.

prec: the precision used when generating the LUT.

Es: the energy per symbol. This is passed to the function to provide the bounds when calling the generator function since they don’t know how the constellation was normalized. Using the (maximum) energy per symbol for constellation allows us to provide any scaling of the constellation (normalized to sum to 1, normalized so the outside points sit on +/-1, etc.) but still calculate the soft decisions as we would given the full constellation.

gnuradio.digital.calc_soft_dec(sample, constel, symbols, npwr=1)

This function takes in any consteallation and symbol symbol set (where symbols[i] is the set of bits at constellation point constel[i] and an estimate of the noise power and produces the soft decisions for the given sample.

If known, the noise power of the received sample may be passed in to this function as npwr.

This is an incredibly costly algorthm because it must calculate the Euclidean distance between the sample and all points in the constellation to build up its probability calculations. Conversely, it should work for any given constellation/symbol map.

The function returns a vector of k soft decisions. Decisions less than 0 are more likely to indicate a ‘0’ bit and decisions greater than 0 are more likely to indicate a ‘1’ bit.
