Software defined radio (SDR) has been one of your popular search topics this year on RF DesignLine. Recently I had the opportunity to hear from some people who are very active in this market: Frank ...

No doubt most tech and electronic enthusiasts have encountered buzz around SDR, software-defined radio, and asked themselves “what’s the sudden big deal,” if the technology existed for decades? The re ...

With as cheap and versatile as RTL-SDR devices are, it’s a good idea to have a couple of them on hand for some rainy day hacking. In fact, depending on what signals you’re trying to sniff out of the ...

After a prolonged and costly gestation, software-defined radio (SDR) technology is gaining ground. Airborne tactical networking radios, data links and relays based on SDR architectures are being ...

If you've never heard of software-defined radio, that may be because some might liken it to outlaw pirate-radio; it's a wild-west wireless device which will, in theory, receive or transmit radio data ...

Chances are, you’ve actually used one without realizing it. I’m referring to a software-defined radio, and it is the design that most — if not all — modern radios, including automotive and home models ...

Characteristics of transceivers that combine analog, digital, and mixed-signal components, such as SDR, RFSoC/SoC, and DFE technologies. Basics of an SDR and RFSoC/SoC. The advantages/disadvantages of ...

Have you dipped your toe into the SDR ocean? While hacker software-defined radio has been a hot topic for years now, it can be a little daunting to try it out for the first time. Here’s your change to ...

I want to get just a little technical this week and talk about how radios work. I’m going to avoid the detailed, low-level engineering stuff, apart from saying that designing radios is at least as ...
