Our group membership comprises individuals who have demonstrated
a commitment to collaborative open-source software development through
sustained participation and contributions to these projects. We are
grateful for all of their contributions to the advancement of science.

SETIEasy by multiple authors in the group
SETIEASY is a computer program to detect unusual small signals in a large background of radio noise. Through the analysis of microwave radio signals collected from space beyond our solar system, SETIEASY sifts through noise for signals that might be evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The program is text-only with minimal output to the screen, compiles easily using a standard g++ compiler or Borland C++ v5.02 compiler, and uses only 7 megabytes of RAM. SETIEASY's input is a stream of floating-point values from a Project Argus radiotelescope that are saved as WAV sound files.

 

Setiv1.m by Mark Desrosiers
A new program in Matlab that will duplicate some of the analytical work of SETIEasy, but will also take advantage of the power of the Matlab environment. The program input is a stream of floating-point values from a Project Argus radiotelescope that are saved as WAV sound files.

 

DechirpTD1 by Dan Kennedy
A command line-driven program to shift the data frequencies in the time domain

 

Test Signal Generator by Dan Kennedy
A routine that generates a test signal with selectable parameters. It adds the signal to an existing WAV file. The start frequency, frequency drift, peak amplitude and Gaussian half-power interval can be specified.

 

Wav2raw by Dan Kennedy
A utility for converting WAV files to ASCII Floating Raw files
