well, kind of I think you're confusing different things: * Hardware: Your HackRF has the job of tuning to a center frequency, things like gain and giving you a lot of signal samples from there. * Doppler Tracking: There's software that can calculate the doppler a signal has that comes from a

Dear Ernest, Haven't used that, but hamlib is something completely different than Gpredict; it's meant to control ham radio equipment, not to predict doppler shift. If I can get that right from quickly having a glimpse at hamlib, it seems like it was written for hardware that connects to (or

Yes, entirely feasible if you kind of "fudge and pray" on the practical realities. Even 10,000Jy is a tiny signal when cast in the context of a small antenna (2-3dBi). But can the technical infrastructure be built with relatively-cheap SDR-based kit, and Gnu Radio? Absolutely. On 2016-04-01

The main thing is that these bursts are *weak* (< 1Jy typically), and *short duration*. Detecting a CW weak source with smaller antennae is feasible, because you can use long integration times. You have no such option here, unless you're talking about hundreds or thousands of dipoles, all phase

There are 3 options that I can think of: 1) Use multiple SDRs at each location. 2) Run an optimization algorithm as a post processing step to figure out what the phase synchronization should be. 3) If there is a transmitting satellite near there in frequency, use that to determine what the

VLBI guys usually have a local H1 maser clock, they go through a complex synchronization ritual prior to the start of observations. H1 masers have short-term stability on the order of 1e-16. GPS synchronization would be a *starting point* for such things. On 2016-04-01 08:42, madengr wrote:

What would it take to get phase coherency, say at 1 GHz, on a global scale; short of running cables? I assume with a moderate priced GPSDO one can get 10E-12 stability, so that would be 0.01 Hz frequency stability at 1 GHz. Does that mean you can integrate for 10 seconds and stay within 0.1
