Hi Rob,
If my understanding is correct, with a sampling rate
of 48 kHz (sound card), I will not be able to sample
properly the FM composite signal (left and right +
RDS) which has frequencies up to , if I remembered
correctly, 60-80 kHz region. I guess I would need a
sampling rate of at least 160 kHz when sampling at
baseband (after demodulation) and probably a bit
higher when sampling at IF. (They did not teach
bandpass signal processing back in university, I will
need to check out what sampling frequency is needed
when sampling at IF stage).
If what you say is correct, is it possible for me to
wired up such a setup and decode properly the left and
right channel using software ?
Regards,
HowChee
