There is significant crosstalk, but calibrating for this is not a problem. I appreciate the point about sidebands, but my prototype has worked well so far---as long as I make sure there is enough headroom in the mixer for linearity with more carriers I should be OK.
Any oscillator bank...
VE1BLL, thanks again- I did think of using FFT hardware, but my requirement for separate physical signals makes it useless unless there's some really profound hack I'm missing. Hardware FFTs work a lot like software ones-- there is a butterfly pattern of multiplications. For an IFFT, the input...
Let me first say a "wow" and "thanks" to the quantity and quality of discussion here. I was expecting a new idea or two to trickle in if I was lucky---as it is I have only just found time to keep up. This is a great forum.
0.01% seemed like a loose frequency requirement, but because of the...
VE1BLL - the phases really don't matter, as long as their modulation doesn't move the frequencies outside of my pretty loose requirements. I am not locking to any phases, just determining overall amplitudes with every FFT. So if I go with the "big memory" solution, I think I can cut some...
Hi all, I'm a software/DSP guy currently a bit over my head designing some hardware. I have a design in mind for my problem, but it's based on technology I would have used to do this twenty years ago. So I am writing in hopes of getting a "sanity check" on my solution.
Problem: build an...
