Simple Chronulator Case Design

Taking a cue from Adam’s Chronulator case design, I experimented yesterday with a friend’s laser cutter, to make a Chronulator case that’s simple and easy for customers to assemble. Here’s the result: What Chronulator case designs would you like to … Continue reading

Software Radio Baseband Digitizer PCB

I’m plugging away at building an inexpensive, high-bandwidth software-defined radio receiver. I built a bunch of PLL+VCO boards, filter boards, and quadrature mixer boards. But I still don’t have a good ADC to sample the signals I’m receiving. No longer! … Continue reading

ADF4350 VCO+PLL Breakout Board

I’m a software radio freak. When I first heard about the Analog Devices ADF4350, a PLL+VCO that can tune between 137.5 and 4400 MHz, I was obsessed with getting one and building it into my projects. Naturally, the first step … Continue reading

Signals from Space! (part 3)

In the last two parts, I used my homebrew software-defined radio to receive weather image signals from the NOAA-19 satellite and spent some time trying to calculate the satellite’s speed using frequency shift measurements. This time around, I’m going to … Continue reading

Signals from Space! (part 2, and a Chronulator contest)

Quick recap: In part 1, I captured weather satellite signals with my software-defined radio prototype, using the audio input on my laptop. So, what can be done with these captured signals? The first thing I did after recording the NOAA-19 … Continue reading

FM Synthesis!

More progress on my “audio Arduino” prototype: I got FM (frequency modulation) synthesis working a few days ago, but it didn’t sound terribly interesting. Then I spent a couple of days building C headers for the STM32F205 processor (libopenstm32 and … Continue reading
