Introduction:
Diorama is a complete open-source real-time software Digital
Radio Mondiale (DRM) receiver written for Matlab.
"Diorama" is not only a kind of anagram for Ma(tlab) radio.
The word "diorama" stems from ancient Greek "dia"
for "through" and "horan" for "look".
Accordingly with Diorama it is possible to "look through"
the surface of a software DRM receiver at each time and discover
how it is working.
Features:
- Real-time radio
including text message decoding, Journaline(R) news service and
web page broadcasting
- Supports matlab version 5.2 (release 10) and higher
- Optional graphical user interface for settings, control and
display options
- Online display of input spectrum, synchronization variables,
channel estimation,
constellations and SNR at each carrier
- Most variables are accessible in the workspace at every time
- Optional file input mode (for now only 48kHz sampling rate supported)
- Recording of input data and of decoded audio stream
- Fast channel switching time
- Usefull Matlab-utilities included:
wavplayex - continous (asynchron) playing of audio-sample-blocks
(Linux & Win32)
wavrecordex - continous (asynchron) recording of audio-sample-blocks
(Linux & Win32)
clockex - same as clock but more precise
sleep - replacement for pause
... and other cool stuff not mentioned here
