Is sampling rate the same as bandwidth?
Sampling rate determines the sound frequency range (corresponding to pitch) which can be represented in the digital waveform. The range of frequencies represented in a waveform is often called its bandwidth.
What is RTL-SDR sample rate?
The maximum sample rate is 3.2 MS/s (mega samples per second). However, the RTL-SDR is unstable at this rate and may drop samples. The maximum sample rate that does not drop samples is 2.56 MS/s, however some people have had luck with 2.8MS/s and 3.2 MS/s working well on some USB 3.0 ports.
What is bandwidth and sample rate?
The bandwidth is how fast the bits that make up that data are transmitted. Sampling rate is the frequency at which an incoming signal is read to measure its shape. Take for example a typical 9600 baud serial connection. The bandwidth is 9600 bits per second.
What is SDR bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the instantaneous width of frequency content that the SDR receiver can receive. It can be thought of as the width of the SDR's window into the RF spectrum. This is usually in the range of 1 to 10 MHz for entry-level SDR receivers, and in the 20 to 60 MHz range for the more advanced SDR transceivers.
