The modulated waveforms (QPSK, MSK, etc) are designed to go through a receiver design. (this would include root raised cosine decimator, equalization, frequency compenstation, retiming, etc. and is best looked at by a MathWorks example here. Since there is no default receiver in the default HDL design that ADI provides - looking at things with the osc application - you will not see good results. This is expected, and normal.
These waveforms are provided with IIO-Scope for demonstration purposes, which can be loaded into different devices. However, these are generally not meant for transceiver characterization or demodulation. If you want to do such tasks, we would recommend creation of your own waveforms from tools such as MATLAB.
MATLAB format
The ./osc application uses the MAT File I/O Library to be able to read MATLAB files into the system.
There are two ways to scale the data:
- less than ±1.0 : ±1.0 will be assumed as full scale, so something that is ±0.5 will come out as half scale.
- more than ±1.0 : The max point in the data will be found, and this will be assumed to be full scale.
There are two ways to arrange the data:
- vectors of complex data
- vectors of real data. The first vector is Q (real) and second is I (imaginary)
Basic examples are checked into the waveforms directory, which can be loaded up in MATLAB for further explanation.
Binary Format
In binary format each I or Q word is in 16-bit signed format. The AD9361 bus-width is 12-bit. Therefore Bit# 11 becomes Bit# 15. So they are shifted by 4 and the lower 4 bits are ignored.
| Buffer Bit | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AD9361 Bit | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | X | X | X | X |
An I and Q word together make up one complex symbol for one output channel.
The AD9361 features two outputs, In the 2TX output configuration a complete sample consists of two complex IQ symbols, one for each transmitter. It's therefore 64-bit wide.
| TX 0 | TX 1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| I0 | Q0 | I1 | Q1 |
A valid ASCII file is prefixed with a 'TEXT' magic string. Values are delimited by either comma, spaces or tabs.
Samples are separated by rows.
In a 2TX configuration, with only one symbol given per line - it will be repeated for the second TX.
TEXT 501.000000000 -1.000000000 405.000000000 294.000000000 155.000000000 476.000000000 -154.000000000 475.000000000 ...
Two Symbols per line - one for TX1 and TX2
TEXT 0.0002274,0.0002274,0.0002274,-0.0002274 -0.002085,-0.002085,-0.002085,0.002085 -0.001768,-0.001768,-0.001768,0.001768 0.001351,0.001351,0.001351,-0.001351 ...
The file is being analyzed and automatically scaled to full scale!
