Wide band spectrum analyzer / scanner
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2016 3:12 pm
I'm used to tune my RF filters with the help of SDRRTL scanner stand alone program (windows version), a generic RT820T USB dongle and a RF wide band noise generator, so i was wondering if exist, or is under development, an equivalent application for SDRplay.
The 12bit ADC sampling system would give a nice boost in term of dynamic range over a cheap RTL dongle, ie allowing to analyze 60dB band pass/ band stop filters with a decent amplitude margin.
Not the same as professional equip but sure much better than nothing.
I'm planning to buy a Rigol DSA815TG to cover this and other needings, but in the mean time i will be glad to use my new toy for this purpose.
I think that a such kind of custom program, developed excusively for SDRplay, could be the "killer application" that will boost sales a lot.
