Genuinely awesome site, both in organization and content. Will take the mystery out of the odd collection of signals that have puzzled me for years when exploring the bands. Many thanks for your efforts!

A very useful Database, many thanks.

I would like to see a Category for Electromagnetic Interference (EMIElectromagnetic interference / RFIa specific subset of electrical noise on the Electromagnetic interference (EMI) spectrum) signals added, please.

Such as HDMI (already in the database), switched mode power supply (a representative sample, or 2), Ethernet, central heating Boiler(Gas), TV emissions (LO, harmonics, etc), and so on.

It would make the identification of interference sources in my house a lot easier :-) Once I can work out how to do it I can provide samples, mostly unidentified as yet :-(

Regards, Ed

Hello, I've captured a a new signal - at least to me it is - on UHFUltra High Frequency (300-3000 MHz). This was present for several days and has since disappeared. Please refer to this link at Vimeo for a sample. You may have to increase the volume. I'd like to get anyones thoughts on this.

been hearing a narrow data signal on 6.780MHz for a few weeks. any idea. its mostly heard in north america. also, after dark in north america, 4.096 or so has a narow data transmission that sounds similar to a low pitch dolphin

Please mark WLO in the marine section in red. That station has been gone for years. In the military section, MIL-STD-188-110 Appendix A should be in green. While the US has moved from this mode, other countries are still using it. In addition, it's used during Armed Forces Day in the US

Hi guys. Since I havent been able to leave a comment here, im going to do so in a more formal fashion.

Just as a fair warning to all who are paerticipating here, I will be adding on to the main page to provide some policies that I have been trying to get on here with Cartoonman's permission through the use of the trello I have up, that will be tailored at how we need to ensure this wiki's validation at sources, and its pages. This is very big because this will help clear out a lot of junk that has been left behind. For example, I will be spending more time this week, hopefully, moving unid signals to the ID's section, ID signals to the UNID section. Some pages ive seeen are very misleading, or were never formed. So it would be best if that happened.

Not only this, but there will also be additional policies targeted on how you should post signals.

Has anyone identified Inmarsat's Fleet Broadband or Fleet Xpress transmission set up yet? Even any info regarding the withdrawn Fleet 77 service, Sat A and B are obviously now long gone.

My preference is it all should have stopped with W/T on 500 but progress is inevitable I suppose!

Q: - I am trying to decode some audio from a game. It looks a lot like it is a modulated ( I worked with radio at one point) structured signal. -- Anyone have recomendations on simple Analysis software (like a spec an and/or demod decoder) that would be easy to use with a soundcard? I dont have an SDR dongle but I guess I could buy one.

do you have the audio file on you so we can view it? I could try to make an assumption (it may not be correct) based off the audio spectrum.

Your template says "" but doesn't explain what that means. Please link it to an explanatory article or expand the abbreviation. Google says it might stand for "autocorrelation function"?

That is correct, ACFAutoCorrelation Function stands for Auto-Correlation Function. It's also defined in the terminology page: https://www..../Terminology

Abbreviations on the wiki should show their meaning if you mouse over them as well.

What copyright applies to the uploaded audio files? it would be good uploaders agreed to have it under Creative Commons. I want to use the HFHigh Frequency (3-30 MHz) audio to add QRM noise to morse code audio while training a neural network to decode it.

ie a python program downloads all the audio for and converts to WAV files. Later while triaing the network a lowlevel lopping version of the audio is then added to morse code audio along with static noise. The result along with the text version of the morse code is then used to train a neural network.

yeah these signal audio files are not under any licenses due to the fact they were user-provided audio files either directly from the SDR software they used. It wouldnt actually be appropriate to call copyright to a page or audio file because on this wiki anybody is able to edit these signals...

Mouseover should tell you what stands for (Autocorrelation Function). Otherwise you can visit the Terminology page to see acronym definitions.

Anonymous #17 The reason this site still uses the 2014 release of mediawiki is because we havent gotten around at modifying the version. The admin of this site is on hiatus and just got the new server up and running before the hiatus.

I would also highly recommend the anonymous users make actual user accounts so this way we know who you are. Its a security issue if that doesnt happen.

This was posted due to the amount of variants of "SCADA" that I am starting to norice on this wiki, and was also posted in the discussions page of the ID section..

Is it alright if I make SCADA a special page because that signal has MANY MANY MANY variants that need to be addressed there? I have seen so any variants posted that I want to start merging data into the SCADA page itself. MOSCAD, the BalDR sensor, Electric meters, anything that relates to data acquisiton...

FOR THOSE who are visiting the site as of recent, we have experienced a bug where the actual limit of signals are truncated to 500 entries only. not to worry, the others are actually *hidden* on the bottom of the page...just not on the database.

Also, for firefox users, you may experience file uploading and general edit issues maybe saving...

If you mean those downwards sweeping signals, they are likely interference from welding and heating processes. Also known as "hooks", "fish hooks", "sweepers" and possibly with other names.

Emcbro is correct, these are called fish hooks. When they are wide band (and I mean VERY wide band, like 0.5-3 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz wide) they are usually from natural sources (e.g. lightning interference & lightning scatter, solar storm activity/solar EMP, etc.). When there is only one narrow-band signal, it is often caused by RFRadio Frequency heating and welding equipment nearby, these devices are used often in industry, particularly manufacturing. RFRadio Frequency Generators are often a likely culprit as they are often installed by non-electricians and they are usually poorly maintained if any maintenance is done at all. In this case there are many narrow-band signals which all follow the same curved, fish-hook pattern. This can also be from the same RFRadio Frequency heating equipment, or it could be a source of local interference. The power supply to the receiver could be the culprit. Furnaces, water heaters, air conditioning units, refrigerators and other motorized appliances which are intended for continuous-use are other likely suspects.

See the signal ID wiki page for RFRadio Frequency heating interference here: https://www....interference

Also, take a look at these pages for mitigating interference at your station:
