Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio (color version)

<p>Note: There are two versions of this book, one with full-color illustrations, the other with interior images in black and white. This is the full-color edition.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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: </p> <ul> <li>to build and operate an FM radio using real SDR hardware </li> <li>to use more powerful and complex gnuradio blocks</li> <li>about SDR architecture and how it applies on a practical level </li> <li>what kinds of antennas and peripherals you'll need in your SDR toolkit</li> <li>key SDR and radio terms and how they impact your radios </li> </ul> <p>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.</p>
