Maybe I can list my aims and you can tell me if GNU and N200 can do this ? 1. Receive on 1030 MHz - BW not sure yet 2. Receive on 1090 MHz - BW not sure yet 3. Receive on 2700 - 2900 MHz - BW not sure yet 4. Classify signals on these bands. 5. Perform PPM decode - Pulse Position Decode on the 1090 MHz band Using a hardware device and GNU radio The computer would be a MAC MINI running openSUSE LINUX or MacBook PRO Laptop running LINUX with either USB or Gigabit ethernet. What would be the suggested software and hardware combinations ?Can I use the N200 as a very basic spectrum analyser and a capture device ( I guess the capture device would be just continuous)
I undestand what I want to do and I have started decoding singals on 1090 MHz already
I just want to turbo charge the process and make it as fast as my Mode S 1090 MHz receiver I have now, which is a 1090 MHz front end and FPGA

If you're just interested in RX in the 1090MHz range, I'd suggest the DBS_RX2. Sensitivity is dominated by noise figure. If you need lower noise figures you'll have to put a band-specific LNA in front, which is what I do for radio astronomy.I was just looking at the N200 Do these hardware components have sensitivity figures ?In an SDR, nearly-all the processing is done on the host computer, so you need a fastish computer. Overall compute requirementsI am interested in passive RADARI have been using a 1090 MHz receiver and a cheap digital OSCilloscope commaned under LINUX as a capture device.I guess that is sort of what the hardware and software of an SDR does ? My system is very sloware roughly proportional to sample_rate * complexity-per-sample.
