New blog post: Demodulation of the LTE uplink. A self-contained hands-on walk through the analysis of the uplink signal. The post assumes some knowledge of OFDM, but no previous knowledge of LTE. We demodulate some PUSCH slots that I have recorded from my phone. (1/9)

the story continues: a ~week *after* the project has been renamed, I receive an email from GitHub Trust & Safety talking about trademark infringement xitter.cf/marcan42/status/135860…

The campaign for LUNA is now active: crowdsupply.com/great-scott-… From the minds of @ktemkin, @GSGlabs. LUNA isn't just a USB 2.0 protocol analyzer, it's also an open-source USB core for FPGAs that's now been tested on dozens of hardware platforms, including some of my own! 😁

Bastian's tutorial on analyzing an unknown signal and implementing a custom decoder using GNU Radio and Inspectrum is on the ACM WiSec Conference's YouTube channel now! youtube.com/watch?v=WqAqPEXZ…
The @acm_wisec tutorials will start in 20 minutes (6:25pm UTC). In the first session, @bastibl shows how to decode signals from a car key with GNU Radio. More tutorials are scheduled tomorrow: sites.nyuad.nyu.edu/wisec21/… Watch the live stream on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=WqAqPEXZ…

After a ton of cleanup and documentation, this is now fully open source: The BLE radio: github.com/newhouseb/onebitb… The building blocks: github.com/newhouseb/alldigi… Since I basically learned RF from scratch to build this, I spent a lot of time documenting, which I'll preview below...
I just built a Bluetooth receiver using nothing but a Xilinx FPGA and an antenna. No ADC, no filters, no mixers, no AGC, not even an amplifier. Just straight RF into a SERDES port at 5Ghz. Here it is discovering nearby devices ("I LOVE MINDY" is the nearby Particle Argon).

99€ for a general purpose ECP5-5G (from @latticesemi) board with 8 PMODS, DDR3 RAM, GB Ethernet, microSD UHS-2, HDMI, SATA, USB-C, RGB leds.! Perfect for learning nMigen! (If you find cheaper, just let us know😉) shop.lambdaconcept.com/home/…

A study from Korea showing why indoor dining is unsafe and why airborne transmission matters. Case B infected case A from 6.5m (~21 feet!) away in *just five minutes*, and case C from 4.8m (15 feet!). Footage shows no interaction—and only those in line of air flow got infected.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!
