NAME

miri_fm - a simple narrow band FM demodulator for Mirics based receivers

DESCRIPTION

Software for the Mirics MSi2500 + MSi001 SDR platform

written because people could not do real time FM demod on Atom hardware with GNU radio based on rtl_sdr.c and rtl_tcp.c

USAGE

This program captures information from a band of frequencies and outputs the data in a form useful to other software radio programs.

SYNOPSIS

miri_fm [-f freq] [OPTIONS] [output file]

OPTIONS

-f frequency_to_tune_to [Hz]
use multiple -f for scanning (requires squelch)
ranges supported, -f 118M:137M:25k
-M modulation (default: fm)
fm, wbfm, raw, am, usb, lsb
wbfm == -M fm -s 170k -o 4 -A fast -r 32k -l 0 -E deemp
raw mode outputs 2x16 bit IQ pairs
-s sample_rate (default: 24 kHz)
-d device_index (default: 0)
-T device_type device variant (default: 0)
0: Default
1: SDRPlay
-g tuner_gain (default: automatic)
-m sample format (default: auto)
504: S8 (fastest)
384: S10 +2bits
252: S14
-e USB transfer mode (default: 1)
1: Isochronous (maximum 196.608 Mbit/s)
2: Bulk (maximum 333Mbit/s, depends on controller type)
-i IF mode (default: ZERO)
0: ZERO
450000: 450 kHz
1620000: 1620kHz
2048000: 2048kHz
-w BW mode (default: 8MHz)
200000: 200kHz
300000: 300kHz
600000: 600kHz
1536000: 1536kHz
5000000: 5MHz
6000000: 6MHz
7000000: 7MHz
8000000: 8MHz
-l squelch_level (default: 0/off)
-o oversampling (default: 1, 4 recommended)
-p ppm_error (default: 0)
-E enable_option (default: none)
use multiple -E to enable multiple options
edge: enable lower edge tuning
dc: enable dc blocking filter
deemp: enable de-emphasis filter
direct: enable direct sampling
offset: enable offset tuning
filename (’-’ means stdout)
omitting the filename also uses stdout

EXPERIMENTAL OPTIONS

-r resample_rate (default: none / same as -s)
-t squelch_delay (default: 10)
+values will mute/scan, -values will exit
-F fir_size (default: off)
enables low-leakage downsample filter
size can be 0 or 9. 0 has bad roll off
-A std/fast/lut choose atan math (default: std)

EXAMPLES

Produces signed 16 bit ints, use Sox or aplay to hear them.
miri_fm ... | play -t raw -r 24k -es -b 16 -c 1 -V1 -
| aplay -r 24k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1
-M wbfm | play -r 32k ...
-s 22050 | multimon -t raw /dev/stdin

If the device can’t be opened, make sure you have the appropriate rights to access the device (install udev-rules from the repository, or run it as root).
