Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] The PLL for the burst signal

Hi Vicfield, I actually work on the ground system that receives these signals. They are distress signals from different beacons: EPIRBs (boats), ELTs (planes), PLBs (hikers or anyone who wants a handheld device) that are captured or relayed through satellites to the ground. This allows rescue auth

Hello, Victor: Thanks for your information, I exactly tried to decode the file with the real EPIRB signal from a PLB, although I’m pretty suspicious about that is beyond me too much… But it is really surprised me that what you said: The signal "trigs" detecting is too complicated to implement a

H ​i Vicfield! another info for you: are you palying with a "real" EPIRB signal or with a "test" signal? In the first case be sure that the signal cannot reach the open space: the signal "trigs" an expensive and complicated stuff, actulally it's starts a S&R process with a lot of people involv

Hi, Really thank you all. I was read the specification of EPIRB and researched something about that, but it’s seems some error about that. I will attach the GRC what I tried. > So, a PSK that can only take values of +1.1 and -1.1, relative to the > "idle" carrier. Bit rate is 400b/s, so that

Hello! About frequencies pay attention that there are more than a single (406.025 MHz) frequency. In my direct experience there's also 406.028 / 406.039 MHZ in use. So also tuning has to be on the right frequency. Take a look also at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/compendium/0406

Hi, When trying to decode the signal, I always use the PLL Carrier Tracking to solve the error about phase shifting, and it’s always doing a good job. But I start trying to decode the EPIRB signal, I just got a sample with only one burst, and PLL seems not work anymore even I tuned the parameter
