RFNM

Adapting incredible 5G silicon to enable a new wave of inexpensive test equipment. Join us on our journey to prove that RF is, maybe, Not Magic.

@MehdiHacks It picks up all the background noise and forces you to build a shield for it.

@ea4gpz @F4DAV @LimeMicro Hang on a sec, I'll post a download link once I'm cleared.

@ea4gpz @F4DAV @LimeMicro I think this is it: https://t.co/6ZUd8lQJq8

@ardusimple @cemaxecuter Can you move those SMAs any closer together?

[cemaxecuter @cemaxecuter]

Give me all the Bluetooth.. at one time! I knew there’d be a perfect use case for the @rfnotmagic + 1 lime daughterboard @ 122Msps.. (little overkill). Sorry, @Aaronia_AG I borrowed a boost cable, also worth mentioning I attempted adding v6 support.

@sdamico Nah, lime is just the rfic and there are options (mt3813, rf112, adi with custom iq, etc.) I’m talking about the la9310/la1200.

[Luigi Cruz @luigifcruz]

That is a big SDR (Allen Telescope Array)!

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@jlcjak Banger.

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@luigifcruz @sama Try and tag more people inside that org! Like idk randomly @kalinowski007

[Luigi Cruz @luigifcruz]

Hey @sama, hit us up if you wanna connect GPT-5 to the Allen Telescope Array with a lot of on-sky time!

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@MehdiHacks Interesting, but not new. We have been shipping our LA9310 based SDR for the last two years!

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@luigifcruz The hardware would be easy is easy! It’s the software support that is likely to be a black hole for time.

From the second FengYun 3F weather satellite pass today at 12:37 local, some more tests: crop of the UK/Ireland. Using the @rfnotmagic SDR @ 122.88 MHz, recorded, demodulated and decoded with the @aang254 et al SatDump software.

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@Drachs1978 It’s all a big psyop from big radio. RF, not-magic!

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@late2L3 @cemaxecuter What's the analog frontend in your book? The $20 LA9310? No, that's just honestly priced. The catch might be 8 Gbps PCIe bandwidth, maybe?

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@cemaxecuter @BatchDrake Might want to drop the 300 grams worth of heatsink for the application :D
But yes, you can use the local transport interface to get data to the iMX and process it there -- and it could be a 100/150 MHz wide spectrum, no problem.

[RFNM @rfnotmagic]

@F4DAV @cemaxecuter @5N63S We can run a full 5G UE node when splitting the work between imx and vspa! Unfortunately yes, the nda is still in the way.
