* Context packet -- describes properties of the radio components and antenna | |||
** DDC: tuning, bandwidth | |||
** ADC: sample rate, triggering | |||
** RF tuner: bandwidth, gain, phase lock | |||
** Antenna: azimuth, angle, polarization, location, altitude, speed, heading | |||
* Signal packet -- IF data, ID, timestamp, supplied by the DDC | |||
* VRT information stream combines Context and Signal packets | |||
* Configuration remains ad hoc | |||
