Is the RTL2832U chipset compatible with LinuxTV?

Is the RTL2832U chipset compatible with LinuxTV?

Another version of it has support for the R820T tuner and is compatible up to kernel 3.8 It appears that the current LinuxTV Drivers support the RTL2832u chipset (sometimes identified as 2838 or RTL2838). Directions for installation are here: http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git

What are the modulation parameters of the RTL2832U?

Modulation parameters, e.g., code rate, and guard interval, are automatically detected. The RTL2832U supports tuners at IF (Intermediate Frequency, 36.125MHz), low-IF (4.57MHz), or Zero-IF output using a 28.8MHz crystal, and includes FM/DAB/DAB+ Radio Support.

What is the sensitivity of the RTL2832U dongle?

The dynamic range for most dongles is around 45 dB. The sensitivity is somewhere around -110 dBm typically. The highest safe sample rate is 2.56 MS/s but in some situations up to 3.2 MS/s works without USB dropping samples (RTL2832U drops them internally).

What is the safe sample rate for RTL2832U?

The sensitivity is somewhere around -110 dBm typically. The highest safe sample rate is 2.56 MS/s but in some situations up to 3.2 MS/s works without USB dropping samples (RTL2832U drops them internally). Because the devices use complex sampling (I/Q) the sample rate is equal to the bandwidth instead of just half of it.

Is there a newer version of the Linux kernel?

Yes, even Linux Kernel release have LTS and non-LTS versions, in case you didn’t know. Linux distributions are responsible for your system’s stability and this is why they don’t release a newer version of Linux Kernel unless they test it for regression on their end.

Is the latest Linux kernel available in arch?

But most Linux distribution does not provide the latest Linux kernel unless you are using an Arch-based distribution or some other rolling release distribution.
