Software-defined radio is transforming test and measurement by replacing rigid hardware with adaptable software, enabling ...

The University of Kent’s hackerspace, TinkerSoc, recently had a talk on software-defined radio using an incredibly inexpensive USB TV tuner. Of course this is nothing new to Hackaday readers, but they ...

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 ...

Using digital techniques has caused a resurgence of interest in VLF — very low frequency — radio. Thanks to software-defined radio, you no longer need huge coils. However, you still need a suitable ...

Every passing year sees radio transceivers get nearer to the ideal software-defined radio (SDR). The "ideal" will occur when the antenna is connected directly to a DSP baseband processor, which ...

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 ...

Like almost everything else in electronics, radios are becoming processors with software that communicate via a small amount of RF I/O circuitry. Surely, then, the rise of software-defined radio (SDR) ...
