SDR sunday 26 April 2015 Software Defined Radio sunday

A whole day with access to RF testing equipment to test and demonstrate self-built radio concepts, radio software, (de)modulators, protocol decoders, diversity transmitters/receivers, through-wall imaging radars, SAR, and any other radio-related topics to discuss.

There will be at least one PC-based spectrum analyser available, some RF recording equipment (up to 6 GHz, baseband 200 MSPS, or 100 MHz 14 bit IQ data), Swept spectrum analyser up to 12.4 GHz, and low-power tracking generator and couplers for filter and antenna tests. Various other RF accesories like noise sources and LNAs and adapters are available too (mostly SMA). Next to that a 500 MHz 4ch DSO will be available. Two-tone RF tests using 16 bit 200 MSPS IQ DAC might be useful for linearity and RF debugging.

Note that this day is only meant for low-power radios - please leave your travelling wave tube equipment and dummy loads at home! Start @ 13:00 PM, till somewhere ca 18:00. Techinc has a modest kitchen available for people that need even more time to chat. Drinks are available from the fridge, and perhaps the coffeemachine is up and running by the date as well.
