(Robert L. Nuckolls, III) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:53:57 PM PST US From: "Robert L. Nuckolls, III" Subject: AeroElectric-List: 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 https://youtu.be/IaKEYEyrRgk 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.
