 ====== Noise events in radio observations with RMDS01A sytem ======
+This page collects various side signal and events that were recorded during the use of detection stations. If you retune a station and try to explore other radio bands, you can make use of [[http://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Signal_Identification_Guide|tento seznam]] when trying to identify a signal.

+===== Local interference =====
+{{ :cs:rmds:time_ref.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+An interference found in Hradec Králové observatory was caused by 7-segment LED display connected to time normal.
+Some users experience various problem with undesirable noises during station’s operation. This chapter summarises some experiences with a commonly occurring types of interferences and gives tips for their solutions.
+First, let’s see a picture of a correctly set receiver without a connected antenna and with "Creative Soundblaster USB External live!" sound card.
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_bez_anteny.png?direct&300|SDRX01B without an antenna connected}}
+As you can see, in the middle (zero audio frequency) there is an increased signal caused by an induction by grid frequency of 50 Hz in audio cables connected to the sound card. Improving the position of cables and ground loops it is possible to lower the noise.
+Next, you can see a picture where there is an antenna connected in a relatively RF clean environment.
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_s_antenou.png?direct&300|SDRX01B with LW antenna connected via ca. 5m long coax RG58}}
+Now we get to an examples, when the environment where we operate the receiver is not so electromagnetically clean.
+We will illustrate the problem on a set from the following picture - generally not a very well chosen set if you want to achieve minimal interference. Plastic notebook has a minimal attenuation of radiated energy, there are a lot of switched-mode power supplies and a lot of long and badly shielded cables.

+==== Metallic Ethernet ====
+A turned on metallic Ethernet (?? Metalický ethernet) is one of the most obvious sources of interference. It is typical by its thin periodic spectral lines with a maximum density around 25MHz.
+The following picture illustrates how such interference may look like:
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_nestineny_ethernet.png?direct&300|}}
+There are several solutions of this problem, however none of them is as useful as not having an Ethernet at all in the observing locality.
+=== Shielding ===
+Klasické [[http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroucen%C3%A1_dvojlinka|UTP]] patch kabely lze pořídit i ve stíněném [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair|STP/FTP]] provedení, které sníží vyzařování kabelu
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_ethernet_ftp.png?direct&300|}}
+=== Optický ethernet ===
+Další možností je použití optického Ethernetu. Dnešní počítače ale bohužel zatím nejsou vybaveny optickými Ethernet porty a proto je nutné použít externí převodník Ethernet-optika.

-==== Natural noise ====
+Spektrum rušení od Ethernetu se pak změní následovně
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_ethernet_converter.png?direct&300|}}
+Je ale vidět, že v RF signálu stále po Ethernetu zůstává mnoho artefaktů. Ty jsou ale způsobeny z velké části přenosem parazitního signálu po napájecím kabelu konvertoru do stejné zásuvky, jako je napájení SDR přijímače.
-==== Inexplicable noise ====
+Pokud konvertor zapojíme do jiné zásuvky, tak se rušení podstatně sníží.

-{{ :cs:designs:rmds:capture1288.jpg?direct&700 |}}
-{{ :cs:designs:rmds:capture1305.jpg?direct&700 |}}
+Dále také můžeme na napájecí kabel přidat feritový kroužek, který bude ještě dále blokovat přenos RF signálu po napájecím kabelu
+{{:cs:interference:sdrx01b_ethernet_converter_z_jine_zasuvky_s_feritem.png?direct&300|}}
-=== References ===
+Podobným způsobem by jistě bylo možné postupovat dále. Přidání feritu na všechny kabely, oddělení zásuvek, uzavření přijímače do krabičky atd.
