Can anybody share which software is capable of converting (resampling) recorded IQ-wave files from the ar-iq-2, perseus-like, without loss of content ?
...the WAV header of these IQ-files contain besides baseband identification probably other information (chunk), which “audio” software can`t handle to convert these files correctly, this could be a first challenge.
Because AOR making multiple IQ-wave files (2Gb) during a recording, so we need to bond these IQ-files as one (big) iq-file to handle further .
The AOR-IQ Wave files are saved as 2 channel 32 bit, sample rate 1.150Msps, bitrate 72Msps.
(These ratings are fixed by the AOR-IQ interface, but I`m sure by the Perseus you can select)
Page 3 said:The digital I/Q output interface streams I/Q data to the PC through USB2.0 isochronous mode, at 72Mbit
/sec with a sampling rate of 1.125Msample/sec. All commands are sent to the AR2300/AR5001D through the receiver’s remote control USB port.
On page 26 said:AR-IQ II allows to record 900kHz of the RF spectrum ...
When I use the SDR# plug-in "Recording *", "Baseband Recorder", "IFRecoder". they load into Audacity as 32bit, float, stereo SampleRate“Original” sdr#-files imported in Audacity: are 16bit PCM.
Maybe "currently" means it could be requested to be increased.currently, only rates between 100 Hz and 100000 Hz are supported
I think to `protect` a certain product, in this case the AR-IQ software interface, the designer have prevented import of non AOR-wave files and have prevent that these files can´t be used with other software, by means of not following conventions like endianness.
The first 4 bytes in the header of the IQ/files are 59 49 46 46 or RIFF, but my source tell me it is big-endian.
That's the nature of it. If you want it, you'll do it....also import, editing and resample of this kind of file is taken a long time…
