[SDR] Meeting minutes 2011-04-26

[bjbuelow at rockwellcollins.com]

We barely had a quorum Tuesday.  Another conflict with the CLC.  They need 
to change their meeting night.  Alternatively, we could pick a different 
time for the SDR meeting.  If you have a suggestion, please make it to the 
list.  It was suggested that maybe noon hour was better, but getting 
started and ending on time become more of an issue.

Greg passed out another few pages from F4DAN 
http://f4dan.free.fr/sdr_class_eng.html    This is the magic decoder ring 
to the material he discussed last week.

We discussed splitting the SDR development into two parts:
- sampling
- rf

We are letting each area strongly influence the other.  If a sampling 
method can be determined, real work can be started on that topic.  The 
goal being the determination of:
- a sampling rate
- determination of beagle IO bandwidth limitations
- FPGA requirements dictated by rate and bw

Once sampling is defined, then the rf folks can determine a conversion 
scheme. 

No revelations here, just trying to focus on the sampling issue.

We talked about who else might be a good addition to the project and a few 
names were suggested.  Chris Beamlander next target.  If you know/see 
Chris, "encourage him" to participate.
Any other names???

Hope to see more of  you next week.

Barry
