This is the `demoddsd` plugin. At present it can be used to decode the following digital speech formats:
|
||||
|
||||
- DMR/MOTOTRBO
|
||||
- dPMR
|
||||
- D-Star
|
||||
|
||||
It is based on the [DSDcc](https://github.com/f4exb/dsdcc) C++ library which is a rewrite of the original [DSD](https://github.com/szechyjs/dsd) program. So you will need to have DSDcc installed in your system. Please follow instructions in [DSDcc readme](https://github.com/f4exb/dsdcc/blob/master/Readme.md) to build and install DSDcc. If you install it in a custom location say `/opt/install/dsdcc` you will need to add these defines to the cmake command: `-DLIBDSDCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/install/dsdcc/include/dsdcc -DLIBDSDCC_LIBRARIES=/opt/install/dsdcc/lib/libdsdcc.so`

A Mac O/S build was contributed from version 2.0.1. Please be aware that this is still experimental.

<h1>Android</h1>

Despite several attempts and the presence of Android related stuff still present in the .pro files there is NO and will NEVER be any support for Android. An APK can be built but Qt fails miserably at porting applications other than its ridiculously simple examples. When multi-threading is involved a lot like in SDRangel this simply crashes at the very beginning of the application when starting the event loop.

<h2>To Do</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow the handling of more than one device at the same time. For Rx/Tx devices like the BladeRF Rx and Tx appear as two logical devices with two plugin instances and a common handler for the physical device services both plugins. This effectively opens Tx support.
|
||||
- Tx channels
|
||||
- Tx support for devices like Blade-RF or Hack-RF and simple file output (probably to start with)
|
||||
- Tx channels to feed Tx devices
|
||||
- Possibility to connect channels for example Rx to Tx or single Rx channel to dual Rx channel supporting MI(MO) features like 360 degree polarization detection.
|
||||
- Specialize plugins into channel and sample source plugins since both have almost complete different requirements and only little in common
|
||||
- 32 bit samples for the Channel Analyzer

This plugin uses the [DSDcc](https://github.com/f4exb/dsdcc) library that has been rewritten from the original [DSD](https://github.com/szechyjs/dsd) program to decode several digital speech formats. At present it covers the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- DMR/MOTOTRBO: European two slot TDMA standard. MOTOTRBO is a popular implementation of this standard.
|
||||
- DMR/MOTOTRBO: ETSI two slot TDMA standard. MOTOTRBO is a popular implementation of this standard.
|
||||
- dPMR: Another ETSI standard at slower rate (2400 Baud / 6.25 kHz) and FDMA
|
||||
- D-Star: developed and promoted by Icom for Amateur Radio customers.
|
||||
|
||||
The modulation and format is automatically detected and switched.
|
||||
It can only detect the following standards (no data, no voice):
|
||||
|
||||
- Yaesu System Fusion (YSF): developed and promoted by Yaesu for Amateur Radio customers.
|
||||
- NXDN: A joint Icom (IDAS) and Kenwood (Nexedge) standard with 2400 and 4800 Baud versions.
|
||||
|
||||
The modulation and standard is automatically detected and switched depending on the Baud rate chosen.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable this plugin at compile time you will need to have DSDcc installed in your system. Please follow instructions in [DSDcc readme](https://github.com/f4exb/dsdcc/blob/master/Readme.md) to build and install DSDcc. If you install it in a custom location say `/opt/install/dsdcc` you will need to add these defines to the cmake command: `-DLIBDSDCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/install/dsdcc/include/dsdcc -DLIBDSDCC_LIBRARIES=/opt/install/dsdcc/lib/libdsdcc.so`

The I trace (yellow) is the discriminator signal and the Q trace (blue) is the symbol synchronization monitor trace that goes to the estimated maximum discriminator signal level when a zero crossing in the symbol synchronization control signal is detected and goes to mid position ((max - min) / 2) of the discriminator signal when a symbol period starts.
|
||||
|
||||
The symbol synchronization control signal is obtained by squaring the discriminator signal and passing it through a narrow second order bandpass filter centered on the symbol rate. Its zero crossing should occur close to the first fourth of a symbol period therefore when synchronization is ideal the Q trace (blue) should go down to mid position in the first fourth of the symbol period.
