I am currently the managing administrator of this website. You may contact me at [email protected] for any questions or concerns.
Status[edit]
Reduced activity expected from January to August.
New Sigidwiki Server upgrade is on hiatus until further notice.
On the agenda:
- Modulation section, which will give an in-depth analysis of different modulation techniques used by signals to transmit data.
- SDR section, giving information of the capabilities of SDRs in the market today.
- Reworking the active/inactive categories.
- New signal entries, as always (backlog of >25+ signals right now, give me time ok)
- Rework and improve inadequate signal entries, an ongoing venture.
- Look into using gfycat plugin for motion-based waterfalls for a richer experience.
- Considering a references/links section for very valuable websites with relevant information.

Permalink | Reply | Delete comment Anonymous user #9 1651 days ago Score 0+- Anon #7 is ABSOLUTELY right about that "weird moving signal" one, it is used for what s/he said, and more, it used to be used also for seismographic sensor data collection, as follows: Lay out a LARGE array of sensors, each with one of these analog telemetry TX units, each on a different freq. and you RX it in USB mode, like s/he said to get the data back you have to know the centre freq. and amount the offset of the signals are the data. I was VERY shocked to see that these are STILL being used, I say that because back then the bands were almost devoid of activity, save for A1A ship to shore comms. When more and more users began to use the radio spectrum these devices were banned because they cause TERRIBLE interference!!! they roam around a centre freq. and can deviate by as much as 100 kcs up or down!

I *think* the 2.4GHz is ISM so many different devices operate on it (not to mention microwaves to say the least). Satellites would probably stay away from this range. For your signal, is it possible to see how wide these bursts are? In the docx you provided i see a middle point where signal power is decreased, which would suggest that this is the center frequency of the transmission. The sidebands of it therefore must be to the left and right of the signal Permalink | Delete comment MillMan 1603 days ago Score 0+- I use AirMagnet Spectrum XT and I can see the same thing.

The problem with having a smaller bandpass than the signal bandwidth is you cannot really tell what the signal really is. The vertical line transmission could just be a harmonic from some other much more powerful continuous wave signal. Lots of signals occupy the 2.4 ISM band so it will be hard to figure out where it's exactly coming from.

It's likely a US based one and yea, propagation conditions can make it so that you can hear it. Since it's just standard FSK, you could try to decode using a generic RTTY decoder, but if it's encrypted you'll only get garbage, or if they're using a different encoding or charset.

PSK = Phase Shift Keying, using phase of carrier to shift bits. C4FM and 4FSK are unique modes to P25. They're simply how it sends digital data over analog RF channel. To listen to P25, you first have to find frequency of a P25 control channel or radio channel. They tend to be around 400-550 Mhz or 800-860 MHz.

The demodulation method of mine works perfectly if time synchronization is done beforehand. By the way I have no Idea how the synchronization is carried out in DMR signals. There is a sync pattern in the document which has 48 bits (or equivalently 24 symbols) by which we can correlate to find the sync signal. But no correlation is found in my synchronization , and no peak is detected. Would you mind helping with me if you have any experience in the synchronization of DMR ?

The APOC mode has been requested for too long. Unfortunately, I do not have a signal sample as I would have to be on the lower end of Southwest Michigan or Chicago to receive. On flip side, due to the audacity software I have, and the amazing amount of programming I could do with such DSP, I have generated what wouldv'e sounded exactly as one would hear these modulations on this frequency.
