Dump1090 program. R820T Archives. Over on the SDRSharp Yahoo group, HB9AJG has posted an interesting report in a PDF file containing some measurements (Note you will need to be a member of the group to download the file titled “Some Measurements on E4000 and R820 Tuners.pdf”. Here is a Direct Mirror of the file.) quantifying the performance of both the E4000 and R820T RTL-SDR DVB-T dongles.

See the discussion in the Yahoo group here. These results confirm the feeling that many RTL-SDR users have had: that the E4000 is more sensitive in the lower frequencies, and that the R820T is more sensitive in the higher frequencies, which is why it is recommended for ADS-B. The results also show that the R820T is better in terms of Image Rejection and Internal Signal Birdies.

Image Rejection Because the E4000 is a Direct Conversion Receiver, it has an Image Rejection problem. EarToEarOak/RTLSDR-Scanner. YouTube.

How To Build an FM Receiver with the USRP in Less Than 10 Minutes. Guruofquality/grextras. Operation with a Realtek RTL2832U USB dongle DVB-T receiver | GNSS-SDR - An Open Source Global Navigation Satellite System Software Defined Receiver. Introduction This article describes what is probably one of the cheapest ways for experimenting with real-life signals and GNSS-SDR. This is product from a combined effort of many people, so let us only mention (to our knowledge) the very original source, the V4L/DVB kernel developer Antti Palosaari, who discovered an undocumented operation mode for some USB DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U chipset, enabling them to be used as a cheap Software Defined Radio (SDR) front-end.

The key feature is that the chip allows transferring raw I/Q samples to the host, that in principle is the responsible for DAB/DVB+/FM demodulation. This is great news for a GNSS software receiver, since it covers the targeted frequency bands. The RTL2832U outputs 8-bit I/Q-samples with a baseband sample-rate up to 3.2 MSPS, according to the specifications. However, the highest sample-rate without losing samples that has been tested so far is 2.8 MSPS. OsmoSDR driver support GNSS-SDR.internal_fs_hz=2000000. Kochmorse - Koch Morse Tutor for Linux.

WRPLUS. HDSDR Homepage. RTLSDR: My First SDR! « AndrewNohawk. A few weeks ago (I’ve been meaning to do this post for ages, few weeks ago is give or take 2 months) there was a post on reddit regarding a new software defined radio that cost around $20. After reading a few topics on the discussion (now all avail at now ) my interest was peaked. RF was a whole new world of WTF for me.

I think it offers the same awe and wonder that I had putting a tape into my very first tape into my vomit brown fischer-price tape player: The basic gist of how it all works is as follows: * There is a common chip found in video cards known as an RTL2832U * This chip is commonly used for specific frequencies used for Television signals (and then software decodes this so you could watch TV on your pc) * A bunch of cool guys ™ found a way to read the data coming into the card directly with drivers * These cards also offered some tuners that allowed tuning beyond the basic TV ranges This meant: In Ascii Thats:

GNU Radio Blog. Simple DVB with Gstreamer and GNU Radio - MyLabWiki. This article describes a simple video broadcasting setup based on Gstreamer, GNU Radio and the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). It does not (yet) provide any DVB-T or DVB-S compatible system — just a simple way to get your webcam on the air! Overview The objective is to create a simple digital video broadcasting setup using easily available components as illustrated on the figure below. The long term goal is to get a similar setup up to near space and LEO. UVC Webcam An UVC compliant webcam is used as a cheap but efficient video source. Gstreamer Gstreamer is used for everything related to video processing.

GNU Radio GNU Radio is used to create the software defined radio transmitters and receivers. The Universal Software Radio Peripheral provides the necessary transmitter and receiver hardware to get our signals on the air (bits and bytes can not fly) Using these components we can accomplish some very advanced and cool functionalities, such as: Source code or V1: Conceptual prototype. JACK | connecting a world of audio. Linux Software [rtlsdr.org wiki] Options for free software in Linux are: GNURadio is an excellent but unwieldy piece of software for use with RTLSDR. It's the only software for now that will receive analogue (FM, AM, sideband) and digital modes such as AP25, FSK and ADS-B. Be warned it's not very easy to drive but if you are canny you can use it to build your own software defined radio.

Follow the build guide for your Linux system as the latest code is always the best to use.GQRX apparently does too. As SDR# is written in C# it works with Mono in Linux! Have a look here for a good summary of Linux utilities. Getting SDR# Running in Linux As of 14 September 2015 SDR# (along with AstroSpy and SpectrumSpy) and works again in Linux on x86/x64 and ARM using Mono! The fact that SDR# worked in Mono at all was a happy accident. There are 2 ways to do this, you can use the PlayOnLinux way shown in Français ici and English here or the Mono way detailed below. Instructions (updated 16 Jul 2016) Realtek. The RTL2832U is a high-performance DVB-T COFDM demodulator that supports a USB 2.0 interface.

Due to much of my own issues with setting this USB dongle up, I thought it should take the time and write my own version of the installation. Take note that this installation is for Windows 7, and not linux (if that wasn’t already apparent). I will also list all of my references below, which may end up solving some problems people were having.

First find a place to order the dongle at a reasonable price. I got mine from DealExtreme at a price of just shy under $20. The first thing you want to do is to check the chipset in your device. A few things you need to download prior to starting: Zadig So if Windows installed some of it’s own drivers in one of the previous steps, that is OK as we are going to replace them right now. Open the SDR# file you downloaded from the link above and extract it to a location you will remember (Desktop in my case) Extract the Zadig file into this folder you just created. Click the “Replace Driver” button. GNSS SDR Toolkit for MATLAB® | ChameleonChips. What is it? Are you involved in advanced wideband GNSS signals research using Software Defined Receivers? Then you know how frustrating it can be to crunch hundreds of Gigabytes of data using MATLAB. Sure, you could implement your algorithm in C or try to run it on a DSP or even get it to go realtime on an FPGA – but you don’t want to add three or more years to your graduation do you?

Besides, all you want to do right now is develop your algorithm – not go down a path that ends up limiting flexibility. Hands down MATLAB’s flexibility can’t be beat. If only there was a way to speed it up without having to buy expensive toolboxes… even by a factor of 30 or so. That would mean the difference between running something overnight versus taking a break to get caffeinated. Features Supports any IF-sampled front-end data file written in binary format (tested on NordNav R-30, SiGe, University of Colorado ‘discrete front-end’ and Ohio University wideband TRIGR data files.

My slides from the BATC Convention talk are now up! The key to the RTL-SDR is the Realtek 2832 chipset. The drivers for this give us access to the I2C control of the Frontend Tuner (eg. an Elonics E4000), allowing us to change the tuner frequency between 50-2200MHz (E4000), whilst sampling the output with the 3.2Msps ADC in the Realtek 2832.

These samples are then fed down the USB into the PC, allowing demodulation with programs such as SDR# and HD-SDR . This allows use to use the cheap TV dongle as a super-cheap sdr radio receiver, viewing upto 3.2MHz of bandwidth at once. Discovery Antti Palosaari discovered the ability to dump I/Q samples from the Realtek 2832 whilst developing the Linux driver for DVB-T. I smell very cheap poor man's software radio here :) - Antti Palosaari The guys at Osmocom jumped on it and very quickly had a set of Linux programs written to stream the samples. Capabilities Technical The ADC in the RTL2832 chip runs at a 3.2Msps sampling rate. YouTube.

Software. How to Make a $19 Police Radio Scanner. GRC Examples. Below you will find a few software defined radio examples implemented in the GNU Radio Companion . They are very simple yet functional examples I created while I was learning GNU Radio and SDR – I hope they can be useful to others too, who are learning GNU Radio and/or software defined radios. You will find that in many of the examples tuning is done using a frequency translating FIR filter rather than changing the USRP frequency.

This is because on some daughterboards (e.g. WBX) tuning is not fast enough for the user moving a GUI slider. If you are only using a daughterboard that is fast enough you can conveniently change the flow graph to tune the USRP directly and remove the frequency translating filter. If you are looking for theoretical material for learning digital signal processing and software defined radios see Suggested Reading on the GNU Radio website.

The examples are hosted on Github, see csete/gnuradio-grc-examples or create a local clone using git checkout uhd AM Receiver.
