Because we always want the rtl-sdr work in the band we
are interested, but
unfortunatelly in that band there maybe no any pre-known reference signal
for us to do synchronization. So a possible solution maybe make a beacon,
which can generate ultra-narrow-band or ultra-low-power signal in the
target band to help us do the on-line calibration. Any better ideas to
avoid this dedicate beacon?
To add a beacon is a very good idea. It can be placed
near the band
edge where S/N is not so good due to aliasing so it would not disturb
signals of interest. By having very good frequency accuracy on the
beacon one can synchronize all the dongles to get very high stability
and accuracy:-)
