[Discuss-gnuradio] sweep generator

2016-04-28 Thread Dan McKenna
Hi There, I am using a B210 to record band widths from 1 to 20 MHZ, center frequencies from 400Mhz to 2 Ghz. To test my post detection software I would like to use a Tx channel to make a sweep generator as a real time test source at sweep rates of around 50 Mhz/second over 1 to 20 mhz range wit

Marcus, Thank you for your replies Yes, No way with a dipole at a signal flux of 30J In discussions with two of our faculty members I was told that the bursts can be 10,000 J and attempts to find an afterglow have not yielded certain results. it is not known if any big antenna was really point
