Now almost everything is ready to receive HF Radio Stations.
- ADC: done
- sampler: done
- spectrum viewer: done but not mandatory for listening
- Digital down converter: done
- CIC decimator - FIR filter: done
- AM demodulator: done
- SSB demodulator: TODO
- AGC (*)
- I2S output: done
(*) designed and simulated but not tested yet
After a few attempts, using a simple C++ program running on Linux in the Zynq Programmable System I set:
- IF GAIN = 4
- CIC decimation = 1024 corresponding to an audio bandwith of 8KHz
- Mux switched to Test Generator
- Test Generator at 10 MHz (1 KHz Amplitude Modulated)
- Local Oscillator at 10 MHz
and obtained a clear 1KHz tone at the output of the PCM5102 I2S ADC (around 1,5 Vpp),
Then I successfully tried a few Radio Stations after verifying they were receivable at that time using http://kiwisdr.com/public/
- IF GAIN = 4 (up to 64)
- CIC decimation = 1024 corresponding to an audio bandwith of 8KHz
- Mux switched to ADC (don't forget to supply the ADC and connect the antenna)
- Local Oscillator at the frequency of the chosen Radio Station e.g. 7215 KHz for China Radio International (English)
