sdrTcap

Time Series Capture System based on Software Defined Radios

sdrTcap is a collection of code based on GNURadio4 for accessing and processing digitised signals from Software Defined Radio (SDR). The current version aims at working with LIME SDR and is based on the SoapySDR integration inside the GR4.

sdr2file

This code is taken over from the examples available on the GR4 repositors. The original version can be found on the GR4 repository.

sdr2zmq

This is a variation of the code above, but instead of writing to file, it continiously reads the SDR device to a ZMQ socket.

Installation

Preparation

Starting from a fresh image / ubuntu:

sudo apt install git cmake g++ libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev swig python3-numpy python3-mako python3-sphinx python3-lxml doxygen libfftw3-dev libsdl1.2-dev libgsl-dev libqwt-qt5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev python3-pyqt5 liblog4cpp5-dev libzmq3-dev python3-yaml python3-click python3-click-plugins python3-zmq python3-scipy python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0

sudo apt install soapyosmo-common0.7 soapyremote-server soapysdr-module-airspy soapysdr0.7-module-airspy soapysdr-module-all soapysdr0.7-module-all soapysdr-module-audio soapysdr0.7-module-audio soapysdr-module-bladerf soapysdr0.7-module-bladerf soapysdr-module-hackrf soapysdr0.7-module-hackrf soapysdr-module-lms7 soapysdr0.7-module-lms7 soapysdr-module-mirisdr soapysdr0.7-module-mirisdr soapysdr-module-osmosdr soapysdr0.7-module-osmosdr soapysdr-module-redpitaya soapysdr0.7-module-redpitaya soapysdr-module-remote soapysdr0.7-module-remote soapysdr-module-rtlsdr soapysdr0.7-module-rtlsdr soapysdr-module-uhd soapysdr0.7-module-uhd soapysdr-tools

then comes:

sudo apt install uhd-host uhd-soapysdr limesuite limesuite-udev

you should be able to check your card by:

LimeUtil --find
SoapySDRUtil --info
SoapySDRUtil --find

you can also update the card by doing sudo LimeUtil --update, but this is not always recommended.

At this point, you sould also be able to use GQRX which is a very nice code.

Compilation

Steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang-18 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-18 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld ..
ninja
