title: "HydraModem: a Faust-authored acoustic M-FSK physical layer for a certified mesh-protocol frame"
abstract: >-
  An acoustic physical layer that carries the 17-byte DeModFrame of the DCF / HydraMesh
  protocol over sound. The per-sample DSP (a continuous-phase M-FSK modulator and a
  non-coherent quadrature integrate-and-dump tone-correlator demodulator bank) is authored
  in Faust and compiled to C; the packet layer (CRC-16, K=7 r=1/2 convolutional FEC with
  soft-decision Viterbi, a block interleaver, acquisition, and symbol-timing recovery) is in
  C. A transport beneath the DCF wire quantum, validated at 0% packet error over real audio
  hardware.
