[hpsdr] Hermes Pure Signal

[Joe Martin]

Hi Geoff, 

As Helmut pointed out, there are significant problems to overcome with respect to implementing PureSignal on the Atlas bus systems.  In addition to his comment regarding FGPA size issues there is a data rate limit that we are already pushing up against on the Altas bus in order to achieve the 384 ksps sampling rate (we had to split I and Q to separate individual lines on the bus to achieve it) and that will be the limit I think going forward I think.  It is highly likely that multiple-board Atlas based systems will not be able to utilize the significantly higher data rates that will be available on single-board platforms with the new protocol with its gigabit connection implementation.   

At the moment no one that I’m aware of is working on implementing PureSignal on Atlas-based HPSDR platforms and I’ve not heard of any progress or serious plans along those lines.
