Building:

On windows (this wont include the French version):

sphinx-build -b html -D imgmath_latex="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\latex.exe" . _build

On Ubuntu with latest sphinx via apt-get (3.2.1 at the time of this writing) installed with pip, I had to add ~/.local/bin to PATH, and apt-get install texlive-latex-extra. Also after dutch version was added I needed apt-get install -y pdf2svg and pip install sphinxcontrib-tikz.

make html
sphinx-build -b html -D exclude_patterns=_build,index.rst,content/* -D master_doc=index-fr . _build/fr/
make html-nl
cp -R _build/* ../777arc.github.io/

Getting pdf created (not working yet due to gifs)

sudo apt-get install -y latexmk
sphinx-build -b latex . _build/latex
make latexpdf
NEED TO REMOVE ALL GIFS FOR IT TO NOT ERROR OUT

Misc

Ideas for future chapters:

• Equalization, would be the last step needed to finish the end-to-end comms link
• Cyclostationary analysis
• OFDM, simulating OFDM and CP, show via Python how it turns freq selective fading into flat fading
• How to create real-time SDR apps with GUIs in Python using pyqt and pyqtgraph, or even just matplotlib with updating
• Python code that lets the Pluto (or RTL-SDR) act as an FM receiver, like with sound output
• End to end example that shows how to detect start of packet and other concepts not covered in RDS chapter
