AIS can be used to track ships and other marine vessels at sea, that are equipped with AIS transponders. It is also used by shore-side infrastructure known as base stations, aids-to-navigation such as buoys and some search and rescue aircraft. AIS is broadcast globally on 25kHz channels at 161.975MHz and 162.025MHz, with other frequencies being used regionally or for special purposes. This demodulator is single channel, so if you wish to decode multiple channels simulatenously, you will need to add one AIS demodulator per frequency. As most AIS messages are on 161.975MHz and 162.025MHz, you can set the center frequency as 162MHz, with a sample rate of 100k+Sa/s, with one AIS demod with an input offset -25kHz and another at +25kHz. diff --git a/plugins/channelrx/demodapt/readme.md b/plugins/channelrx/demodapt/readme.md index dc7f5c27c..dee5f971b 100644 --- a/plugins/channelrx/demodapt/readme.md +++ b/plugins/channelrx/demodapt/readme.md @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ When clicked, shows additional APT Demodulator settings.

The face of the button will change to represent either a logarithmic or linear curve. When in linear mode the range control (B.3.3) has no effect because the actual range is between 0 and the reference level. The reference level in dB (B.3.2) still applies but is translated to a linear value e.g -40 dB is 1e-4. In linear mode the scale numbers are formatted using scientific notation so that they always occupy the same space. diff --git a/sdrgui/gui/spectrumcalibration.md b/sdrgui/gui/spectrumcalibration.md index 3c4171b4c..bd0c02345 100644 --- a/sdrgui/gui/spectrumcalibration.md +++ b/sdrgui/gui/spectrumcalibration.md @@ -90,7 +90,7 @@ The value in (9) is added (in dB) to all calibrated power values if "Cor" is sel
