Technical Handbook Radio Monitoring by Roland Proesch

Technical Handbook for Radio Monitoring HF: Edition 2017 

The Technical Handbook for Radio Monitoring HF is aimed to shortwave listeners, who are interested in digital signals. On 544 pages with 513 figures and 138 tables many digital waveforms are described. The book shall help a shortwave listener to identify digital signals. Digital waveforms like FSK, PSK, DSSS aso. with the used protocols and alphabets are described with the help of spectrum and other pictures and the most important technical parameter. Additionally comprehensive tables are helping to identify the different user on shortwave.

  

Frequency Handbook for Radio Monitoring HF

This book shall help shortwave listener to identify stations on shortwave. It contains more than 20000 frequencies from 82 Hz to 30000 kHz.   Edition 2018

Technical Handbook for Radio Monitoring VHF/UHF: Edition 2017 

This book is describing common waveforms used on VHF- and UHF. It shall help the interested reader to identify these waveforms. The book is describing digital modulations like FSK, PSK, FH, DSSS aso. and used protocols. Systems like AIS, ACARS, GMS, THURAYA and others are described with spectrum pictures and detailed technical parameter.

Technical Handbook for Satellite Monitoring: Edition 2017

This book decribes satellites, satellites systems and the used waveforms. It shall help to identfy unknown signals which can be received today. Digital waveforms like FSK, PSK, DSSS aso. with the used protocols and alphabets are described with the help of spectrum and other pictures and the most important technical parameter.

 

Signal Analysis for Radio Monitoring

This book is aimed to the shortwave listener, who is interested in digital signals. On more than 300 pages with many figures and tables the reader is introduced to the world of signal analysis. The book shall help a shortwave listener to identify digital radio signals. The different waveforms are explained and methodes are described how to analyse and retreave their main parameter. This includes for example the determination of the baud rate of an amplitude shift keying ASK, the measurement of the symbol rate of a phase shift keying PSK, the analysis of the parameter of one carrier of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing OFDM or the identification of the different values of a frequency hopping signal. The reader is shown that the same methodes used for determination of a continous frequency shift keying FSK can be used for a frequency hopping system with short bursts. Step by step the reader gets an introduction to the different methods for measurement of the main parameter of a waveform. Comprehensive tables like i.e. used alpabets, protocols, coding or designation of emissions are helping to identify the different waveforms on shortwave.

Roland Proesch was born in 1960 in Kiel. He studied communication technology in Hamburg at the University of the German Army. Since 1977 he is a licensed radio amateur which has enabled him to pursue one of his most profound interests, namely all types of digital communication. He works in the field of all different kinds of radio monitoring, electronic warfare and satellite communication for over 25 years.
