CRC-Dwap.py

CRC-Dwap.py is the USRP complex stream or file replayer command developed by Communication Research Center (CRC) from Canada. It is written in python and is open.

CRC-Dwap takes complex sample as input, configure the USRP and daughterboard and send it to the USRP that is producng the RF signal.

Remark about frequency argument

Frequency argument (-f <FREQUENCY>) of CRC-Dwap.py can be either positive or negative. If it is negative, signal will be folded (or mirrored). This is useful for use with Basic TX board for example as we use the image frequency for transmission. For DAB transmission in band III, we generally use:

• BasicTX board: -frequency (negative)
• WBX and RFX400 modified board: frequency (positive)
