Hi all, I have a spectrum analyser that outputs its I and Q data over TCP or UDP in the VITA49 format, I've been searching around looking for a way to interface this into gnuradio but all the information I can seem to find regarding VITA49 seems to be with reference to USRP. Can anyone offer any advice or pointers for where to start? I have some programming experience if that's what's needed.

 

Thanks

The VITA-49 protocol isn't that complicated.  I'd write a simple "interstitial" C program that reads the VITA-49 packed samples from your UDP/TCP port, and then sends them along a FIFO that Gnu Radio can open as a file source.
