Hardware
In order to receive Iridium you are going to need some hardware.
- Software Defined Radio
- RTL-SDR
- BladeRf
- HackRF
- USRP
- Most SDRs that have an libosmosdr binding library
- Antennas
- Passive
- Active
- Modified GPS antenna with replaced filter
- Bias-T if your antenna is active and your SDR doesn't have one built in.
- Decent Computer
Software
It is possible to do this under windows. I have not tested this and I would imagine it would be too time consuming.
Here is a list of the requisite software in installation order
- Linux OS
- GNU Radio
- LiveDVD/USB contains most of the software you would need
- You will also need the -dev packages
- SDR specific library
- ex: librtlsdr
- libosmosdr
- gr-iridium
- AMBE Voice codec
- osmo-ir77 Open Source AMBE decoder
- Emulated
- gr-toolkit
