rtl_sdr
Raw data recorder for RTL-SDR receivers. Data is encoded using I/Q sampling (aka quadrature sampling). More information: https://osmocom.org/projects/rtl-sdr/wiki/Rtl-sdr.
- Save RAW data from a frequency (specified in Hz) to a file:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} {{path/to/file}}
- Pipe data to another program:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} - | {{aplay}}
- Read a specified number of samples:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -n {{20}} -
- Specify the sample rate in Hz (ranges 225001-300000 and 900001-3200000):
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -s {{2400000}} -
- Specify the device by its index:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -d {{0}} -
- Specify the gain:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -g {{20}} -
- Specify the output block size:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -b {{9999999}} -
- Use synchronous output:
rtl_sdr -f {{100000000}} -S -
