I don't manage to keep my promise of updating regularly this blog (blush). Anyway, I am improving little by little so another pretty stable thing is a board which I use to capture the new civil signals from GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Compass. I might refer to it as "TUNE".
Figure 1: Six single channel TUNE boards.With a much wider bandwith than PRIMO, these boards can capture through USB a continuous endless stream of E5AltBOC signal with 1 bit quantisation (122.88Mbps). Two can also be connected together to have some sort of a dual-frequency sampler.
At the moment, the GUI to configure everything (tuner, clock distribution, ADC) is a little "complicated":
Figure 2: The TUNE configuration GUI....so it's my next part-time job to make it little more user friendly.
Some results of acquisitions and tracking of "famous" signals will follow shortly.
Regards everyone and thanks for all the comments had so far,
Michele
