QPSK Bit Error Rate

[rpet7]

Hello,
I am using the RFSoC 4x2 version 2.7 with the Strathclyde University QPSK Demonstrator Jupyter Notebook. I am attempting to use the data in the plots in order to extend the code so that I would be able to get some numerical judgment of the signal integrity such as error vector magnitude or bit error rate. However, I have been unable to pull the data from the constellation plots in order to perform calculations on it. I have tried using the ol.qpsk_rx.get_data() command but it tells me that it is a method and not actually an array of data for example.
For example, I am able to see these values for the plot but I am unable to pull those values from anywhere.

Any help or direction would be very well appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,

Not sure if you can achieve that with that particular example without modifying the hardware design.

RFSoC ZCU111 Generate Custom Data in PS to send to PL RF Data Converter

Hello all, I have a ZCU111 eval board and Vivado 2018.3. I have been able to successfully run the examples in the RFSoC Workshop git repo. I am trying to build something that is very similar, but essentially it allows me to send custom data to the RF data converter. I have written some code in python to generate a custom modulated message (sent continuously). This works in the pynq notebook that I have created. Now I want to create an overlay that will allow me to write data to the rf data conv…

ZCU111 RF custom signal symbol generation

Hello! My requirement is simple: using the ZCU111 high-speed DAC output custom signal which doesn’t need the QPSK signal. But I have not seen the example. So follow the RFSoC Workshop example (RFSOC-QPSK) and try to modify it. My question is which function defines the signal sequence? By the way, I tried that QPSK example and connect the DAC port to the oscilloscope. In the running process, I have not seen the signal output. I don’t know why. Thank you! [image]
