I saw that the VBER has been implemented; I thought it would be useful for DVB to add other RF measures such as:

  • Signal Strength
  • C / N
  • PreBER (BER before Viterbi)
  • MER
  • PER
  • FER
  • Signal Quality
  • Constellation Diagram

inspired by this product http://www.decontis.com/components/sambuddy-rf/

I would add sambuddy-rf features as "desiderata" or "todo" in the roadmap of leansdr

Signal strength, MER and C/N are displayed with --gui and exported to third-party user interfaces through --fd-info. C/N computation must be enabled with --cnr. The constellation is displayed with --gui and exported through --fd-const.

I am not familiar with the other metrics.

The purpose of leandvb is to demodulate efficiently on low-cost hardware for amateur radio applications. This requires many trade-offs: metrics are computed on a subsampling of the input signal, MER is not reliable at low SNR, values are occasionally converted to fixed-point, etc. The measurements are provided for troubleshooting only.
