I thought about other options for signal analysis (KST for example). My initial idea was in absence of a scintillation counter system to use a (simple) PIN diode like the widely used BPW34 photodiode as detector. There is some material about this on the web. Then put some amplifier behind it and

Hi Mark and Aylons, I've also wondered whether a cheap RTL-SDR could be used with GnuRadio as a multichannel analyzer for a homemade Gamma Spectrometer, either using a Geiger tube or a scintillator. I think the tuner would need to be bypassed so that the sampler can get direct samples. There's

Hi, people. Anyone here has experience using Gnuradio or USRP as an instrumentation tool (I mean, not for actual radio transmissions)? After years studying, hobbying and working with SDR, I've just learned that they are very similar to particle acceleator instrumentation, in a very pleasant way:

Not exactly the same thing, but I recall a physicist presented a paper at the first GnuRadio Conference in 2011 on using GR for quantum communication. See http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/grc2011-abstracts#wednesday_1530_1600 Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 12:36 PM, M
