When we first started hearing about software-defined radio hacks (which often use USB dongles that ring it at under $20) we didn’t fully grasp the scope of that flexibility. But now we’ve seen several ...
The article makes the case for software defined radio (SDR), and discusses strategies for balancing flexibility, energy efficiency and spectrum use. It looks at different hardware architectures, ...
A radio receiver consisting of just a very good analog-to-digital converter connected directly to the antenna plus a powerful computer could make a great radio. However, the present state of the ...
When the first USB DTV receivers came out with tuners covering 54–806 MHz, I wondered if any of them could be modified into an inexpensive spectrum analyzer. Thanks to RealTek and some Linux kernel ...
It hasn’t become a household term yet, but Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is a major player on the developing technology front. Whether you’re building products for mass consumption, or just playing ...
