Signal Optimization Metrics Questions for the Experts
#2
Greetings,

Just a few thoughts, I'm sure others will chime in!

Speed reading thru most everything you wrote and then looking at your attached plots at the bottom of your very nice systems description I wonder first why you are using DSP filters? The signal plot shows what appears to be a near delta function spike. The frequency spectrum is flat and full of "signal (noise)" from the delta function spike.

Do you live near any electrified fencing? Do you have another impulse noise source problem?

From a simple point-of-view and thinking about what parts of the system you have control over lead to the fact that you should spend all your time on finding a quiet, 0 to 300-kHz, place on your property to place the antennas. Once you do that there are some basic tweeks you can do in the controller firmware that might be useful to do once you find your quiet place... but even those aren't really required.

Make sure you have a stable internet connection with out local contention from other users on your local net. Once those packets go out of your house there is nothing more you can do really.

Check on your part of the system now and then to be sure it is running, producing useful data, etc.

Hope your system doesn't get hit by lightning, downburst or a tornado.
