Source code

src/SDRPulse.Core/Dab/Mp2Decoder.cs is a C# port of the MP2 decoder in pl_mpeg, which is itself based on kjmp2 by Martin J. Fiedler. PulseSDR changes: requantisation follows ISO/IEC 11172-3 (levels divided by L instead of L+1), with the output level calibrated accordingly.

FFmpeg (DAB+ audio and the MP3 network stream)

PulseSDR ships unmodified FFmpeg libraries (codecs\avcodec-63.dll, avutil-61.dll, swresample-7.dll) under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later (LGPL build; full text in codecs\FFMPEG-LICENSE.txt). They are loaded at run time only and can be replaced with any compatible build. Binaries: BtbN FFmpeg-Builds (win64, lgpl-shared); the exact version is in codecs\VERSION.txt (the build shipped now is FFmpeg git commit 9d3f0f2c58; build scripts: BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds). The complete corresponding source is available from pulsesdr.cc next to the download, and on request from [email protected] for at least three years. FFmpeg is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard.

A user-supplied Fraunhofer FDK AAC library (libfdk-aac-2.dll in %APPDATA%\PulseSDR\codecs) is used instead when present; it is not distributed with PulseSDR.

Protocol references

Protocol knowledge was cross-checked against public documentation and open-source programs (dab-cmdline, slowrx, SatDump, dumpvdl2, multimon-ng, acarsdec, rtl_433, and the osmocom / RTL-SDR Blog librtlsdr tuner driver); no code from those GPL projects is included.
