Module: PWN::SDR::Decoder::APT

Defined in:
lib/pwn/sdr/decoder/apt.rb

Overview

Pure-Ruby NOAA APT (Automatic Picture Transmission) decoder for the 137 MHz polar-orbiting weather satellites (NOAA-15/18/19).

APT is a 2400 Hz AM subcarrier inside a ~34 kHz-wide FM downlink carrying two 909-pixel image channels at 2 lines/second (4160 words/line). This module envelope-demodulates the 2400 Hz carrier from GQRX's 48 kHz UDP audio, resamples to 4160 words/sec, aligns each line on the 7-pulse Sync-A pattern, and appends the resulting 8-bit greyscale rows to a Netpbm PGM (P5) file — all in Ruby. No sox, no noaa-apt.

    NOTE: Set GQRX to WFM (mono), ~34 kHz filter. Writes an 8-bit
          greyscale Netpbm P5 image to /tmp/apt_<ts>.pgm every 10 s
          of received pass. Both A/B channels are in one strip.
