During july 2008, we have performed data acquisition in the following bands :

 

Freq (in MHz)

Observations (thanks to a Spectral analyser)

116

Unknown signal

299

Unknown signal

578

DVB

783

Unknown signal

930

GSM

1836

DCS

1875

DCS

1900

Nothing

2113

UMTS-FDD

 

The parameters on the acquisitions are:

  • 20480 samples
  • Complex I/Q samples
  • Resolution 12 bits.

 

For each frequency band, we have 2 files :

  • A reference file with the RF antenna connector connected to a signal generator which generates a sinusoid at the center frequency. The ref file is used for IQ balance correction
  • A file the RF antenna connector connected to a wide band antenna for real data acquisition.

 

An example of use of those files is given in the following matlab code :

 

function out=rx_post(nom)

fid=fopen(nom,'rb')

signal=fread(fid,20480*2,'float');

signal=signal(1:2:length(signal))+j*signal(2:2:length(signal));

size_data=20480;

Fs=7680; %in kHz

band = 2000; %in kHz

max_pos=0;

max=0;

f=abs(fft(signal)).^2;

plot(10*log10(f))

 

More details about the aquisition files, I/Q balance correction and the way to use the acquisition files can be found here.
