How to reach the editor of Wireless Field Guide, what to include in your message, and what to expect in reply.

Contact is by email, to editor@wirelessfieldguide.com. There is no contact form. A person reads every message.

What to include

For a correction, send:

  • the address of the page,
  • what is wrong, quoting the sentence, number, table cell or code line,
  • what is right, if you know it, with a link to where it can be checked: a datasheet, official documentation, a paper, or the standard with its version and clause (for example 3GPP TS 38.211 V19.5.0, clause 4.2).

For code that does not run, also send the error message, your operating system, your Python version and the versions of NumPy, SciPy or GNU Radio you used. If the code talks to a radio, name the radio and its driver version.

For a device you would like added to the hardware database, send:

  • the device’s name and maker, and a link to the maker’s product page or datasheet,
  • its type (SDR, transceiver IC, module, development board, test equipment),
  • frequency range, instantaneous bandwidth, ADC and DAC bits, TX and RX channel count and host interface, if the maker publishes them,
  • which host software supports it (UHD, libiio, SoapySDR, GNU Radio or a vendor tool), and who maintains that support.

We list devices that are on sale or available to researchers, with figures from the maker’s own documentation. We do not list devices in exchange for payment.

For an event, send its name, organiser, dates, location, cost and the official link.

For anything else, such as a topic you would like covered or a link that has moved, a short plain email is fine.

What to expect

Corrections go through the process on the corrections page, and we reply when a report is resolved. Other messages are answered as time allows. Every message is read, even when we cannot reply to all of them.

We cannot debug your link, review your thesis, interpret a regulator’s rules for your product or recommend hardware for a specific design by email. If the site does not answer a question you think it should, tell us, because that is a page we should probably write.
