And as it happens, the GNU Radio package allows to snap many powerful
signal processing blocks together using python.
Thanks Peter, I have installed gnu-radio and played around with it and
rtlsdr, it was great for getting immediate results and picking around
through the spectrum to see what's around. If it provides
functionality for radio astronomy, of course i would love to use it,
but my very initial investigation didn't reveal much for me.
Don't reinvent a square wheel. Learn to use GNU
Radio.
No square wheels here, pyrtlsdr, numpy, scipy, and matplotlib, are the
precisely machined wheels I'm using so far to just dump and examine
data. Any attempt on my part to implement any form of advanced signal
processing would be totally foolish.
