I have a 1 MHz signal from transducer that needs to be analyzed in real-time condition, so the sampling needs to be more than 2 MHz. It consists of digital filtering, turn into spectogram and feed into a model for prediction. I am still stuck at what the device that sufficient for that task. i have tried to use high speed ADC and arduino, but the arduino cannot send the data to the PC rapidly. is there aother method that i could use?

Thanks

    $\begingroup$ I disagree. This is a problem relevant to signal processing engineers which members of our community will be able to help with. A good answer will benefit other visitors to this site. While the question could do with a little more research it does show some effort and should be left open to allow answers to be proposed. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ A Raspberry Pi should have more than enough power to do what you need. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I guess it depends on how much processing you want to do. It should definitiely be able to handle that rate for at least light processing loads. I have used it to stream samples to a USRP at around 1 Msps and it hardly broke a sweat. $\endgroup$

Stanley is right and what you need is a data acquisition board. Depending on your application concern, you can either buy it from an online store or build your own if you can do so.

If you would like to make it on your own, then as MBaz suggested you can select from mini pc boards such as a sufficient Raspperry pi that can either transmit your grasped data to your PC at ethernet 100T speeds or the Pi itself can also be used to do the whole analysis as MBaz indicated.

Unfortunately, here you cannot find help on the hardware design of such a board....

  • $\begingroup$ Hello, thanks for the reply, i have tried to build using arduino but stuck for the transmission to PC, can an arduino semd data to PC using ethernet for faster comm? Thanks $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Rpi 3 has 100 Mbit ethernet, you can use it to connect to a PC. You have to code some UDP data transmission (which is not very difficult). Actual bit rate will be lower down to say 25 Mbps which could provide about 8 M samples per second for 8-bit data. Of course the actual performance depends on a lot of factors. $\endgroup$
