Test method.
Perseus.exeWhen the test file is played with perseus.exe the screen may look like figure 1. It depends of course how the parameters in perseus.exe are set. | |

The loudspeaker output from perseus.exe sounds like this:
sim1-pers.mp3 (490728 bytes.)
The on-off keyed signal is at a level that is similar
to the noise floor level in the beginning and end of the
file where the data comes from an old Perseus recording.
The filters are quite good with weak spurious responses. The details of the loudspeaker output are shown in figures 2 and 3 which are waterfall graphs produced by Linrad with sim1-pers.mp3 as the input (before conversion to mp3). | |
Fig 2.The loudspeaker output from perseus.exe when running the test recording sim1.wav. This waterfall graph is produced by Linrad with the loudspeaker output from perseus.exe as input. | |
Fig 3.The loudspeaker output from perseus.exe This the same as figure 2 at a 10 times higher waterfall speed. The time when the signal sweeps across the passband is well visible as well as a couple of fairly weak spurs. | |
| The loudspeaker output of perseus.exe on an oscilloscope looks like figures 4 and 5 at different X-axis magnification. | |

The spurs are a bit weaker than the on-off keyed carrier and they would be well below the noise with the real hardware.
The full AGC recovery from a signal at the maximum possible level
is about 0.25 seconds.
