In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Martin, If you speak about US, then I doubt this is hardly possible to deploy OpenBTS/UmTRX in an easy fashion because of the spectrum regulation. All GSM spectrum belongs to big carriers and they won't allow you to use it. The only way to go I'm aware of is to setup an MVNO with one of the carriers, but this is extremely hard to negotiate and requires a good pile of money.

Using any PLL frequency other than 320MHz will result in wrong tuning reference frequency i.e. wrong RC tuning code. The question is why VCOCAP search fails while setting TXPLL to 320MHz.

If you want to share your port with the community, I'm happy to merge your changes to our git. I think we could even create a separate git repo for umtrx_lms.py in this case. Regarding your question. It might help if you post here output from umtrx_lms.py and umtrx_ctrl.py at the maximum verbosity (say, 10). The value is set at the top of the files for now. In general, I think you should check that you've enabled proper blocks in LMS and enabled SPI clocks for them. If this doesn't work - check with the manufacturer of your board. I have no idea which board do you use, but the manufacturer may have intentionally or unintentionally break tuning abilities of the chip, On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 3:51 PM, Gillian Seed wrote: > Hi, > I'm having a problem while trying to do a LPF Bandwidth tuning as described > in a Programming and Calibration guide page 40, figure 4.5 and on > https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves/blob/fairwaves/umtrx/host/utils/umtrx_lms.py#L433. > Currently it seems to always fail when it's trying to find the VCOCAP value. > I'm only getting Low printed before it fails.

Also in a duplexer you have a direct electrical connection rather than TX->RX radiation which means you need much more attenuation (often requiring the duplexer + subsequent band pass filters).

Is it possible to support 15MHz and 20MHz LTE channel bandwidths? To achieve this we at least need to sample at 23.04Msps and 30.72Msps respectively. LMS6002D datasheet specifies the maximum I/Q samplerate of 14Msps, which is not enough. But at the same time, datasheet claims that ADC and DAC are specified up to 50Msps. How does this fits together? 2. Do you have any experience what maximum output power we could achieve with LMS and proper amplifiers, while still staying in the bounds of the LTE Standard? What would be the limiting factor for the further power increase? 3. Is there any issues using TDD mode in LMS6002D?

The datasheet is not very clear on this topic. I'm referring to the following line at the Table 1: Baseband Bandwidth 14MHz Originally I read this line as "digital I/Q bus has limitation of 14Msps" and this is what confuses me. > We run the A/D > converters in the LMS6002d at sample rates greater than 14 Msps all > the time, including 30.72 Msps. Just to be sure - do you mean you feed RX_CLK and TX_CLK of LMS6002D with 61.44MHz clock? It's divided by 2 internally, so if you feed them with 30.72MHz clock you actually get only 15.36Msps out of LMS6002D. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Divide by 2 would be required to construct PLL reference below max 41MHz (61.44/2 = 30.72MHz) while having IQ interface still running at 61.44MHz which corresponds to 30.72MS/s converters sample rate. This is something we usually do with LMS eval board when customers want to evaluate more bandwidth demanding modulations such as 20MHz LTE.

For example, you may meet <= -45dBc ACPR but on the other hand you can not inject noise into adjacent channel more than xdBm. LMS device is OK for 20-25dBm modulated output power.

Regarding TCXO frequency. I think we're not going to release UmTRXv3 immediately, as UmTRXv2 works well for GSM. If I remember correctly, we planned to connect temperature sensors to unused debug pins on UmTRXv2 or to extension connector together with UmSEL daughter-board. Meantime, I want to be able to test LTE with UmTRXv2 and thus my question was which maximum TCXO frequency we could use. It seems like the answer is 30.72MHz, because we don't have prescaler for PLL. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

The back should have the Fairwaves Logo / URL. "FREE GSM" because it's a pun: free of cost thanks to open source, and free it from the shackles of the evil big black box infrastructure vendors. In terms of color, if a deep dark midnight blue (like Nike's "Obsidian" blue) would be awesome.

URL: From ttsou at vt.edu Thu Oct 25 18:16:20 2012 From: ttsou at vt.edu (Thomas Tsou) Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:16:20 -0400 Subject: Multicarrier OpenBTS on UmTRX Message-ID: Hi all, I spent some time yesterday testing UmTRX with MCBTS. Aside from some trivial fixes (inverted sample rate), the code ran fine with no issues. The default bandwidth of the LPF was insufficient, so that was widened. I tested with 9 handsets between 3 and 7 carriers on a Core2 Duo (P7570) laptop. git://github.com/ttsou/openbts-multi-arfcn.git umtrx Configuration is through sqlite database, which is unchanged from mainline; just set the number of ARFCN (7 max) and C1 channels. Because of the bandwidth involved, be sure to increase the maximum buffer sizes for UHD. The uhd_usrp_probe utility will warn if the target size cannot be set. http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/transport.html#linux-specific-notes Design ===== There are three resampling stages. 1. Outer resampler converts from the device rate to a multiple of the 400 kHz channel spacing. 2. Channelizer demultiplexes input stream to M channels 3. Inner resampler converts from 400 kHz to a multiple of the GSM symbol rate. UmTRX rates: Channelizer Rate Device Rate Decimation 1.6 Msps 1.625 Msps 8 3.2 Msps 3.250 Msps 4 Options ====== To broadcast dummy bursts on all carriers for spectrum testing, uncomment the following preprocessor declaration in radioParams.h. #define ENABLE_ALL_CHANS With dummy bursts on all carriers: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/ttsou/http/7carrier_umtrx.PNG Calibration ======== Calibration remains a concern. With single carrier, the carrier leakage and and IQ imbalance appear as in-band distortion. For MCBTS, OpenBTS offsets C0 on to the lowest carrier. This makes the carrier and image quite visible, as shown in the following uncalibrated capture. I checked with a swept tone to verify that this issue was not a result of baseband DSP. The USRP also shows similar effects. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/ttsou/http/carrier_image.PNG Any idea how much carrier and image suppression we should expect with calibration on UmTRXv2? Thomas From alexander.chemeris at gmail.com Fri Oct 26 12:27:23 2012 From: alexander.chemeris at gmail.com (Alexander Chemeris) Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:27:23 +0400 Subject: Storing calibration values in EEPROM Message-ID: Hi all, I've pushed an update to git to store some LMS6002D calibration values in UmTRX's EEPROM. The idea is to perform calibration once and do not worry about it anymore no matter what PC you connect UmTRX to. Intro ==== Right now we have the following values which could be stored in EEPROM: * tx-vga1-dc-i - DC offset calibration value for LMS6002D Tx I channel * tx-vga1-dc-q - DC offset calibration value for LMS6002D Tx I channel * tcxo-dac - TCXO calibration value Now, when the framework for UmTRX EEPROM is in place, we could store more values there as we see the need. E.g. we may want to store Rx DC offset calibration values or power limits of this exact units to be used by OpenBTS. The only limitation here is the size of the EEPROM. EEPROM is only 256 bytes large and some of them are already used, so we have about 200 bytes to use. With the strong dependency of calibration values on temperature and frequency, we might need a two-dimensional array for each value. In this case we may want to move those calibration values to flash instead of EEPROM. This would need some more work and thus is in our wish-list for now. Writing values =========== You could write values mentioned above to EEPROM as any other EEPROM value: ./host/build/utils/usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key --val (from the root of your UHD source tree) Reading values ============= You could read individual values from EEPROM as any other EEPROM value: ./host/build/utils/usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key --val (from the root of your UHD source tree) Or you could use `uhd_usrp_probe` to see them all at once at the top-level section: _____________________________________________________ / | Device: UmTRX Device | _____________________________________________________ | / | | Mboard: UMTRX-REV0 | | hardware: 64000 | | mac-addr: 00:50:c2:85:3f:ff | | ip-addr: 192.168.10.4 | | gpsdo: none | | serial: 1 | | tx-vga1-dc-i: 114 | | tx-vga1-dc-q: 138 | | tcxo-dac: 2022 | | | | Time sources: none, external, _external_, mimo | | Clock sources: internal, external, mimo | | Sensors: ref_locked | | _____________________________________________________ | | / | | | RX DSP: 0 | | | Freq range: -6.500 to 6.500 Mhz | | _____________________________________________________ | | / | | | RX DSP: 1 | | | Freq range: -6.500 to 6.500 Mhz | | _____________________________________________________ | | / | | | RX Dboard: A | | | ID: LMS RX (0xfa09) | | | Serial: 1 | | | _____________________________________________________ | | | / | | | | RX Subdev: 0 | | | | Name: LMS RX (0xfa09) - 0 | | | | Antennas: RX0, RX1, RX2, RX3, CAL | | | | Sensors: | | | | Freq range: 232.500 to 3720.000 Mhz | | | | Gain range VGA2: 0.0 to 30.0 step 3.0 dB | | | | Connection Type: IQ | | | | Uses LO offset: No | | | _____________________________________________________ | | | / | | | | RX Codec: A | | | | Name: LMS_RX | | | | Gain Elements: None | | _____________________________________________________ | | / | | | TX DSP: 0 | | | Freq range: -32.500 to 32.500 Mhz | | _____________________________________________________ | | / | | | TX Dboard: A | | | ID: LMS TX (0xfa07) | | | Serial: 1 | | | _____________________________________________________ | | | / | | | | TX Subdev: 0 | | | | Name: LMS TX (0xfa07) - 0 | | | | Antennas: TX0, TX1, TX2, CAL | | | | Sensors: | | | | Freq range: 232.500 to 3720.000 Mhz | | | | Gain range VGA: -35.0 to 21.0 step 1.0 dB | | | | Connection Type: IQ | | | | Uses LO offset: No | | | _____________________________________________________ | | | / | | | | TX Codec: A | | | | Name: LMS_TX | | | | Gain Elements: None PS I've added this text to the wiki for future reference: https://code.google.com/p/umtrx/wiki/UmTRXCalibration -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Below is a preliminary list of items which I think we should include. Please comment on the list and suggest particular items: 1. Power supply, 12V-18V DC, >=20W. I think it's easier to find a PSU with a standard round DC connector, like this one and thus we need a converter cable to our Molex power connector. http://domino2.kycon.com/catalog_PDF/KLDX_SMT2.pdf 2. Converter cable from the Molex power connector to a standard round DC connector. 3. U.FL-to-SMA-F pigtail cable. 4. Two small antennas - omni or patch. One for Tx and one for Rx. Below is a list of items which are non-essential and which we unlikely to include in the package for this batch. We do no have them ready yet and we don't want to delay shipping. We focus our effort on polishing UmTRX and UmSEL performance and software development which we see as a more important tasks at this moment. 1. Duplexer. Without a power amplifier UmTRXv2 is pretty low-power (50-100mW) and thus it works good enough without a duplexer in a normal environment.

So PoE+ may be an option for a UmTRX without an external PA. When we discussed internally, we discarded embedded PoE for a couple of reasons: 1. We focused on medium-range cells which would need an external PA. And in this case we're out of PoE power range. In case of a pico-cell output power (50-200mW) we could do with PoE. 2. We decided that for the first iteration we'd better focus on more important issues and use an external PoE adapter if needed. 3. PoE by default has 58VDC output. We replaced all capacitors to tantalum ones and IIRC there was a concern that increasing input voltage range to 48VDC may considerably add to the BOM cost. This is according to my memories - I hope Andrey Sviyazov could correct me if I'm wrong. Taking all this into account, I think we might consider adding PoE option in some later version, but it's not a focus for us now. If someone wants to help us in adding this feature - please go ahead. It's an open-source project after all. >>>> 2. Enclosure.

With 15W-20W power consumption Andrey Sviyazov is worried that a sheet metal enclosure might not be enough. I'm still inclined to give it a try for a lab enclosure, though. That said, we don't have manpower to do this right now. I estimate this as at least a week of work and thus as I mentioned - if someone is willing to make a design, we're ready to assist by all means. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Yes, that's what we could do initially, it's not something we need urgently. The discussion is whether we should consider this for some later revision of UmTRX. The concern about a separate PoE splitter is that it might reduce overall system reliability. OTOH, it's easier to replace a broken separate PoE splitter then replace the whole UmTRX if built-in PoE is broken. AT the same time, separate PoE is more expensive and require more space. Thus it's not clear to me whether a built-in PoE would be a benefit or not. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

It has to be corrected in BB. I believe you have access to the document: "LMS6002D Improving transceiver performance using digital techniques -1.0r1.pdf" It may be useful. Also, we recommend to implement RX DC auto cancellation as explained in section 3.3 of the same document. This should solve RX LO leakage issue. We usually measure < -60dBc unwanted image level when IQ imbalance is corrected.

Theoretically, we are rotating I vector by alpha/2 and Q vector by -alpha/2 and that is done by multiplication. Hence, the resolution of quadrature phase error (alpha) which we can correct is defined by the with of multipliers. Any way, we clocked ADCs at 15.36MHz (30.72MS/s digital IQ interface) in the experiment I mentioned.

We encourage modifications, improvements and any other smart use of UmTRX. I just wonder why do you need gerbers, while it's easier to modify project files. The only downside is that you need Altium for this. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

A short answer is "yes, after a software update". A longer answer is that hardware supports dual-TRX operation, but software support is not there yet. We might be able to fix software before we ship beta units, but even if not - you will be able to get the software update later. Also keep in mind, that UmTRX should be able to run multi-ARFCN OpenBTS and in this case it'll be able to handle much more calls. We haven't tested this mode of operation extensively yet, but theoretically we might be able to support 14ARFCNs (2x7ARFCN) which equals to (14*8-1)=111 calls. At this scale you're most likely limited by computing power of your PC rather then UmTRX hardware. Whether we could get UmTRX in Multi-ARFCN mode through certification or not is still a question, but it should be fine for lab testing. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

I also look forward to your future potential product, UmTRXv3 4G/LTE. I know its just something your team and you have thought about publically, alot of us would love to see such.

I would need to discuss about the Rx Noise Figure improvement. With UmSEL, according to your calculations, NF would be around 0.7 dB (excluding duplexer IL) with the MGA-13116. It would be interesting to try to improve this figure with a very first stage LNA based on the MGA-633P8. This would let us reach a NF as low as about 0.4 dB. Adding this very first stage LNA in the Rx path brings a few questions. 1/ To improve isolation with the other RF parts, would we need to have this LNA in a separate shielded enclosure ? If yes, we would need a 5V power supply for this LNA. To have a better shielding between the voltage regulator circuitery and the LNA, it should be nice to have the 5V voltage regulator outside of the LNA enclosure. To make this possible, it would be very useful to add a 5V voltage regulator and connector on the UmTRXv3. If not, we do not need specific modifications on the UmTRXv3 but we would need to add an MGA-633P8/634P8 as a very first stage in the UmSEL. 2/ Whatever external or on the UmSEL, this extra LNA will increase the total gain. Considering your calculation, the UmSEL IIP3 is already as low as around 1 dBm. If we add a very first stage LNA, this IIP3 will go down to about -15 dBm. This could be a problem for inband blockers. Even if, in real life situation in the field, I am not sure it will be a very big problem, it will be a problem to pass the spec. Would you have another idea to improve the NF ? If not, could you please let me know what NF we could expect with the current design (UmSEL with MGA-13116/13216) in both 900 and 1800 bands ? Best regards.

I recently posted about multicarrier operation with UmTRX. http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/umtrx/2012-October/000250.html More extensive testing remains, but 15 calls in a lab environment does not pose any significant issues. Larger scale operation - with power amplifier and /or 50+ simultaneous users - remains to be tested.

I set LPF through the UHD interface. This was necessary because the default setting was too narrow. Unfortunately, I did not capture at any register values. https://github.com/ttsou/openbts-multi-arfcn/commit/a95d8f7f I don't see how the LPF can suppress these spurs because they occur inside the multicarrier passband.

Now I understand. My point of view is we do not really care of a few watts power consumption saving for the lab version. At worst, we can still add a fan in the lab enclosure, as for the USRP which also dissipate up to about 15 Watts. On the other side, it makes a lot of sense to save some power consumption for the industrial version as, on the field, every watt counts and we also need to dissipate the heat without fan for better reliability. Considering this, I believe as follow. Either we are able to decrease the power consumption and keep good enough performances for industrial applications. In this case, we should make this modification for both lab and industrial versions. Either decreasing the power consumption will decrease the performances. In this case, I do not think this worth making this modification at all. In both cases, I would suggest we keep the same design for both lab and industrial versions, either with or without the modification. Moreover, if both lab and industrial versions are the same, except connectors may be, debug from lab users may help industrial users and debug from industrial users may help lab users. This would be really easier to get a reliable single board for both lab and industrial applications. Best regards.

I was going to retest, I can't do that until later tonight. Anyhow, I ran into some Ethernet issues when I first booted the UmTRXv2 last week. Board powers up and FPGA loads fine from JTAG with recent .bit image, but I was not able to get network connectivity. I noted the following observations only when Ethernet cable is plugged in. After brief discussions with Alexander, it seems that this behavior is not expected. LED 'I' is on constantly but blinks every few seconds 'LED4' blinks every few seconds Voltage at 1.2V regulator drops to .8V when blinking occurs Also, the above behavior is sometimes present before the FPGA load if Ethernet is connected. I use the following power supply at 12V; current is not limited. http://www.atecorp.com/Equipment/tek/ps280.asp That's all I have right now from some earlier notes. Any thoughts?

No reason except the fact I don't like noisy fans. :) Seriously speaking - it's just easier to find a case without a fan from what I see. But if someone find or design a good case with a fan - we'll use it. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

About power consumption and performancea I can say that spurs at 500 kHz offset around 6dB above TX LO noise plot. It wad measured when 3.3V come from dogs through TI2012U601. Tomorrow I'll measure all again and share pics in this topic. As I mentioned, I'll try to find better filter to suppress 500kHz. Please let me know any partnumbers or suppliers you known. Also unoccupied place under 3.3V LDO's near LMS seems a good place for thermal sensors. About rf connectors, now I am sure that MCX much better then U_FL and we should return them. To connect UmSEL to UmTRX v2.1 required U_FL-MCX cable assemblies till new UmSEL version. Also possible to use direct cable soldering to UmSEL board. Of course, last variant look not perfect. About requirements at 400kHz we can't meet, I actually can't understand what do you mean. Best regards, Andrey Sviyazov. (Sent from my mobile client) 31.10.2012 22:47 ????????????

But if someone find or design a good case with a fan - we'll use it. lol I hear ya, Im just thinking with that seemingly minimal amount of heat (that many BTU's this would raise the temp of a us gal of water by 8.2f, or a liter of water by ~17c), it shouldent really make too much of a difference to have a rectangular case thats enclosed & has a few holes punched in it... To my knowledge, theres no special cooling considerations taken into account for any of the USRP's?
