SDR data files

The links on this page point to locations from where SDR raw data files in .WAV format can be downloaded. The files are zipped to make download easier by avoiding Windows Media Player trying to play the wideband recordings. Many of these .wav files have sampling frequencies that would seem faulty to ordinary .wav editors and other software intended for music or audio in general, but for SDR (software defined radio) any sampling speed is fine - as long as the computer is fast enough to handle it and the program is intended to handle the speed.

Purpose.

The purpose of the pages I have made available here is to show how various interference problems can be handled by use of Linrad. This is demonstrated with loudspeaker output recordings for conventional detectors as well as recordings of the processed output for the same sequence. They can be loudspeaker output recordings or in some cases stereo output files for head phones.

The pages have screen dumps and accompanying text that describes how to use the various interference fighting tools in Linrad. They also contain the loudspeaker output from other SDR programs and relevant screen dumps to the extent others have made them available to me.

All the data files are in stereo format. The two channels should be interpreted as I and Q from a direct conversion radio.
