RTL-SDR for HF Marine GMDSS/DSC on SDRAngel
Introduction In previous posts I looked at decoding GMDSS/DSC HF & VHF signals using Multipsk on a Windows 10 Laptop & RaspberryPi4 (Refs.1/5). In this post I decode HF DSC signals using SDRAngel on a Windows 10 laptop. GMDSS/DSC HF Reception Parameter MF/HF VHF Frequency 2187.5, 4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, 16804.5 KHz 156.525MHz Baud Rate… Continue reading RTL-SDR for HF Marine GMDSS/DSC on SDRAngel
PlutoSDR for AM Modulation on GNU Radio
Introduction In a previous post I looked at using the PlutoSDR as a WSPR beacon (Ref.1). The PlutoSDR can be used to demonstrate standard AM Modulation as shown in Figure 1. Transmission is via a shielded sma cable plus 40dB pad to 3 test receivers: A Signal Hound spectrum analyzer, RTL-SDR and PlutoSDR receiver (Ref.2).… Continue reading PlutoSDR for AM Modulation on GNU Radio
ATSC Television Antenna Testing with NanoVNA
Introduction Several years ago I purchased a compact television antenna to use on my apartment balcony to cut down on cable costs. My balcony has line of site view of the CN Tower which hosts many television and broadcasting transmitters (Ref.1). So far I have tested pretty well every antenna I have with the versatile… Continue reading ATSC Television Antenna Testing with NanoVNA
R/C Varioprop 6 Signal Tx/Rx Decode_b
Introduction In the previous two posts I examined the Varioprop 6 R/C model airplane PWM transmit signal and simulated it in Scicoslab. In this post I test the Transmitter to Receiver link on CB Citizens Band CH19 27.145MHz and confirm correct operation of the Rudder/Elevator/Engine Speed controls. Test Setup Figure 1 shows the Varioprop 6… Continue reading R/C Varioprop 6 Signal Tx/Rx Decode_b
