| Subject: | Some low-cost EMC tools . . . |
I've got a customer who is developing some products
bound for airplanes . . . and like all inquisitive
designers, he would like to know what kinds of
gremlins might be lurking in his hardware BEFORE
he goes to the $150/hr EMC lab.
There's a line of software defined receivers or
(SDRs for short) capable of exceedingly broad
frequency coverage. These are teamed with software
that offers an equally broad range of receiving/
decoding capabilities.
If you, or perhaps any kids you know, are interested
in radio listening from 100Khz to 2.5 Ghz, check
out the products available off eBay and software
packages for low cost or even free. Here's
one of many videos on youtube that demonstrates
the capability of just one such paring

My primary interest right now is to help the fellow
get set up to 'sniff' emissions from his product.
But I suspect I'll learn more about the broader
possibilities for us . . . not the least of which
would be identifying and qualifying noises on
our airplanes.
More to follow . . . someday . . .
There's software that decodes ADSB and plots
the data onto a map.
