Re: How can I split a periodic signal?

2022-08-26 Thread Jeff Long
Inspectrum works for saving a portion of a signal (as does Baudline). I
think the request here was for something automatic/runtime, though.

Re: How can I split a periodic signal?

2022-08-26 Thread Johannes Demel

Hi all,

since Audacity is targeted at audio samples, it might be interesting to 
have a tool that is more targeted at IQ samples.


I've heard/read about quite a few people who use "inspectrum":
https://github.com/miek/inspectrum
(I hope this is the correct repo.)

A somewhat older tool might be "baudline":
https://www.baudline.com/
(I used it in the past but I'd probably switch to inspectrum nowadays).

Cheers
Johannes

James,

I find an easy approach is to write the signal out as alternating i/q 
binary if it's not already.  That can be read into audacity as stereo 
(File -> Import -> Raw), edited and written back out as raw data without 
header (File -> Export -> Export Multiple, and choose Raw Headerless). 
Don't worry about audacity's sample rate because you're editing raw i/q 
anyway.  This allows editing down to the sample level.


Good luck!

IQ fil, bit like this:


--|-|||--||--

The split does not have to be precise, it only needs to avoid 
bisecting any of the pulses. Here are some things I've tried.- 
Creating a custom block on the receiver that uses a timing interval. 
Unfortunately, the pulses aren't perfectly periodic so eventually this 
causes the split to drift.[...]
