10kHz doppler errors when simultaneous pass #1682

Open Valstee opened 1 year ago

Valstee commented 1 year ago

Hi @f4exb and @srcejon , I use sdrangel (SDRangel 7.8.3-8-g0c9686511 Qt 5.15.3 x86_64 Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) to receive amateur radio satellites like uvsqsat, inspiresat-7 and many others. I don't know how to explain it but lately I have been getting regular 10kHz doppler errors when uvsqsat and inspiresat-7 are passing by simultaneously. The prioritization works well, i.e. it targets the right satellite but the doppler starts at +/- 20kHz and goes to about 0Hz which is fine but 10kHz off... I have made presets for each of the satellites and when they don't arrive at the same time I don't have this problem. Do you know where this can come from? Thanks, F4JIZ

If you look in the log file, do you see messages

SatelliteTrackerWorker::doppler satName

For both satellites?

Valstee commented 1 year ago

yes sorry, I waited to have again the same configuration (i.e. a simultaneous passage of the 2 satellites).

Oops - that patch has a bug. Will fix in a bit.

Valstee commented 1 year ago

Hello @srcejon , Thank you very much for the patch! 🥇 Only now the problem is that the doppler correction doesn't trigger every time... I'll get the logs.

srcejon commented 1 year ago

Can you describe the problem a little more - that log appears to be showing doppler being applied to SSBDemod. E.g. m_inputFrequencyOffset: is set to -21 (Although looks like it might be doing it twice unecessarily)

For additional debug, you could add the following line:

qDebug() << "SatelliteTrackerWorker::doppler " << satWorkerState->m_name << "initOffset" << initOffset << "doppler" << doppler << "offset" << offset;

In plugins/feature/satellitetracker/satellitetrackerworker.cpp on line 922 (Just before if (!ChannelWebAPIUtils::setFrequencyOffset ...)

Sorry for my late reply, but for some reason the bug doesn't show up every time. I'll add the line and let you know. thanks
