Signal Analysis for a Morse Decoder
Audio signals exist in the time domain. Sound is a complex mixture of waves at different frequencies. These waves vary in shape and strength. Traditionally, engineers consider audio as a whole bunch of sinusoidal tones mixed together. You can visualize this complex waveform on an oscilloscope. Read more
Ten Cent ADS-B Antenna Extends Range
My ten cent ADS-B antenna replaces the RTL-SDR stock antenna. Amazingly, it doubles my coverage of aircraft flying around Calgary.
