Hi Stefan, the screenshot generally looks good. There are some 50 Hz harmonics as well as modulated 33 Hz harmonics but neither seems to contaminate the desired frequency range around 9.70 hectoHz. However to my eyes, the nighttime spherics seem to be much stronger at low frequency (< 1.2 kHz) than I had expected, though I have to say I'm not at all sure whether that should be so or not. I would speculate that they could be artifacts from higher frequency spherics energy, which may be AM-demodulated by some quadratic nonlinearity in the receive circuitry (e.g. the FET at the input), producing a low-frequency envelope component. You could check this in a benchtop measurement by feeding a two-tone signal (e.g. 5 and 5.5 kHz, with PEP level approximating that of the strongest spherics) to the receiver, and measuring second-order intermodulation (IM2) at the 500 Hz difference frequency. If this indeed turns out to be significant, you could possibly improve your recording a posteriori by subtracting an appropriately weighted squared signal component. Perhaps this could even be done on the fly using SpecLab's built-in multiplier and adder functions.

Hi ULF,
So far the recent 970 Hz experiment went very well: -The transmissions were done as planned. I slightly modified the transmission plan and sent 2 EbNaut messages. The TX was running almost 4 days without interruptions, despite the heavy rain and local thunderstorms. -When coming back to the RX site, everything was in its right place. The 4x 7 Ah lead gel accus were discharged to 12.1 V only. The recording process was still running. -I have now a 30 GB .dat file on the USB stick. This file will be analysed in the coming days. I hope to extract a clear carrier and maybe even decode the EbNaut messages? A first image showing the 0...3 kHz spectrum without filters and blanker: https://www.dropbox.com/s/26bbkfb8q0hs20h/First%20two%20days%20from%20the%20recording.%20No%20filters%20and%20blankers.png?dl=0 (there is a bug on the timescale) Does this look normal for the experts? Any comments/ideas? Unfortunately there was a microphonic effect on the E field antenne. I can hear bumblebees from time to time!! ;-) 73, Stefan Am 17.05.2017 12:07, schrieb DK7FC: Hi all, |
