Thanks for the follow-up, this is similar to a 1 second noise burst every 60
seconds or so we had on our ham repeater. The reason could be identified
after months of search by coincidence. The repeater sysop visited his
fathers office, monitored the input frequency of the repeater like he had
done routinely for months to hear exactly nothing - but there it was, some
wideband noise pulse! 100 m from this office a paging system for a facility
management team was sitting on a tower, not actively used for years, still
transmitting its beacon every minute, and with age the TX started emitting
noise along with its POCSAG signal. Gnuradio also would have been useful in
our case, but it was way before we knew of this exciting stuff :)

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Need help identifying jammer signal

 

Last Friday we managed to finally track this thing down. It was a broken FSK
telemetry system on an FM radio tower. It was about 30 km Southwest of our
radar.

 

I did a small write up about this:

Thanks for all the help.

Sure, I see what you mean.

Backing up and just plotting the unwrapped phase, you can see in the
first image that overall it is increasing at one rate, then shifts to a
lower rate about 1.5 seconds into the file.

The finer structure is much more interesting.  The second image shows
the phase making fast jumps every 500 samples (10 ms), with periods of
oscillation in between.  The detail on this is in image 3.

I still have no idea what this is, but it sort of looks like an
oscillator that is disciplined at 100 Hz.
