[Discuss-gnuradio] HRPT receiver

2015-06-30 Thread Daniel Marlow
Hello, In the gnuradio/gr-noaa/README file under usrp_rx_hrpt.py, there is a comment that reads as follows: The present HRPT demodulator is only tested at decimation 16.The only other valid decimation rates are 24 and 32, which may work, but with more bit errors. No other decimation

Hi Marcus, Thanks. That explains it. Will try 5 MHz with our N200. Cheers, Dan On Jun 30, 2015, at 4:56 PM, Marcus Müller wrote: Hi Daniel, that README refers to things of the past (when you specified a decimation rather than the sampling rate you want), and USRP refered to what we

Hi Daniel, that README refers to things of the past (when you specified a decimation rather than the sampling rate you want), and USRP refered to what we nowadays call the USRP1. In the version of the usrp_rx_hrpt.grc, from which the .py gets generated, the USRP source is just configured to

Hi Pablo, Googling Noaa image format instantly yielded: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NOAA_APT_Frame_Format.gif http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/hrptformat.html It's already been done a few times - for example like this (really just googling GNU Radio NOAA image decode and clicking the

Hi Marcus, APT is (analogue) FM BW ~35-40 kHz and HRPT BW 3 MHz digital. Using a RTLSDR to receive APT can also be found here using windows http://www.poes-weather.com/rtl-sdr/ and howto build a good antenna (RHCP) @ 137 MHz here http://www.poes-weather.com/download/jm-dca/ Patrik On Tue,
