Explanation of detector parameters #9

Open johschmitz opened 5 years ago

Could you explain these parameters in detector.cfg

capture_skip:  20000
block_size: 16384
block_history: 4920
carrier_window: 7 - 110
carrier_threshold: 15 * snr
corr_threshold: 15 * snr

I would like to better understand the parameters to fine tune the detector for my experiment with my new tracking tag.

Sorry for the late reply. This slipped under my radar.

Most of the settings are documented here and will be printed when thrifty is invoked with --help as an argument. I think the dissertation explains some of the concepts such as block size and block history in more detail. Let me know if the existing descriptions do not suffice and you need a more detailed or better explanation of any of the paramaters.
