Overview

RF Light House (rflh)

A python script to use a rotor and a SDR device (RTL-SDR or HackRF One) to measure the RF level around and get a data set and beautiful interactive graphics.

background noise measurement 145 Mhz

WARNING: This repository is new and under construction, you will see some [TODO] & "(work in progress...)" sections/docs yet.

Motivation

This project born from a friend's challenge to measure the background noise impact on my 70cm satellite band noise floor, from a new 2/3/4G cellular tower that my ISP is setting up 50m away from my antennas and with direct sight.

Soon I realized the true potential of it and it get bigger and feature rich quickly.

Features

At the end of the execution you get:

  • A cvs file in the data folder with the resulting data
  • A png image in the data folder with the rose plot

Both files are named as follows: YYYMMDD_HHMM_device_freqMHz_BWkHz_stepo with the matching .csv and .png extensions. The runtime text on the console name the files created for easy parsing (unless you select the 'quiet' option)

For example a real fast scan showing the references to the img & cvs file for parsing:

310(307.5);-102,16941998017171
320(317.5);-101,77656601734243
330(327.5);-101,55990296468812
340(337.5);-101,583492037594
350(347.5);-102,01302571365707
Scan took 0:53
CSVFile: data/20220108_1357_rtl_145.17MHz_300kHz_10o.csv

Dynamc range: 2.9333941135273136 dB, 10%: 0.2933394113527314
Min: -104.78663648956817, Max -101.26656355333539
ImgFile: data/20220108_1357_rtl_145.17MHz_300kHz_10o.png

You can stop the generation of the cvs and the image files if not needed, take a peek on the options.

Also if you are on a GUI enviroment you can issue the '-i' or '--interactive' switch and at the end of the sweep a interactive matplotlib graph will popup.

For a more detailed technical stuff on the features see OPTIONS_EXPLAINED.md (work in progress...)

Installation

As any script in python you will need some dependencies, default dev env is Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS. I'm working/testing a single portable file for linux/windows/mac but it's not ready yet (pyinstall stuff)

The installation of the utilities & python modules are covered in the Install document.

At the end of the we have some examples / use cases at the end of the OPTIONS_EXPLAINED.md document.

In this project, two programs can help you take full agvantage of time on the model training with a remote server, which can push notification to your phone about the information during model training, like the model indices and unexpected interrupts. Then you can do something in time for your work.

  • Configure the rotctld options from a config file instead of in a script

    Configure the rotctld options from a config file instead of in a script

    Now you have to configure the rotor in a separated script file that you need to configure and test.

    I'm thinking on a rotor.ini file with some default configs the users can un-comment and adapt, and that the own python script rise and release the rotctld process in the background.

  • Portable APP?

    Portable APP?

    Yes a portable app will be cool...

    But there are some limitations on the drivers on the linux/mac side, and unknown results on Linux.

    I will try to come with a solution like this, but at the moment only source distribution is possible.
