Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio

Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio

Software Defined Radios are revolutionizing wireless communications, but getting started can be a challenge. Much of the available SDR training veers either towards highly mathematical engineering classes or radio cookbooks with little explanation for the steps taken. <br /> <br />This book builds on the first volume in the series, providing you both a deeper and broader understanding of gnuradio and analog radio design. Through a series of hands-on exercises, you'll learn: <br />- to build and operate an FM radio using real SDR hardware <br />- to use more powerful and complex gnuradio blocks<br />- about SDR architecture and how it applies on a practical level <br />- what kinds of antennas and peripherals you'll need in your SDR toolkit<br />- key SDR and radio terms and how they impact your radios <br /><br />This second volume of our Field Expedient SDR series will take you from being an SDR novice to someone capable of building intermediate-level analog radios. You'll also be ready to dive into the digital wireless technologies covered by the third book in our series.
