Nice work tracking down that 1575MHz interference, everyone! I wish I'd been there just to see how you figured it out, 'cause that sounds like deep magic to me. Another thing we could try: manually tune the gain, disabling AGC, to find out what level of gain corresponds to the signal we're seeing.

There was a request off-list for more background on this stuff, because we're using plenty of jargon. One of the big goals for this group is education, so I'm eager to help people understand what's going on. But I don't want to answer questions privately, because I'm sure more people are confused a

Awesome! And nice job on the pretty pictures! I think this is strong evidence that we should get access to a real satellite simulator, soon. Though I don't understand why it saw a -14.8kHz Doppler shift. The original file is a zero-IF sample. Did you set the HackRF at a center frequency different

[psas-avionics] Last GPS study group of 2014

2014-12-16 Thread Jamey Sharp
I think tonight is our last GPS study group of the year. In fact we'll have to decide, come January, whether we want to pick it up again or try, say, a sensor fusion study group. So I'm planning to walk through the cross-correlation process that everyone's been working on one more time, and then c
