Build Your Own Software-Defined Radio: Practical Guide to Modular RF Design by Thomas Duden
Requirements: .PDF reader, 38.6 MB | True PDF
Overview: Build Your Own Software-Defined Radio combines RF circuitry with hardware programming and PC-based signal processing. The e-book presents a modular approach to building a complete SDR system using RF Bricks – from the mechanical framework and RF modules to measurement tools, PC software, and FPGA implementations. Practical explanations guide readers through real signal paths, construction steps, and measurement routines, linking hardware and software into a flexible SDR platform. We compile some of the popular SDR host applications ourselves. The procedures described are intended to encourage you to work with source code. Initially, we only modify the applications to add minor features, e.g., for the frequency control of the SDR hardware, when this appears necessary. Next, GnuRadio will be used. It doesn’t provide you with a very fancy GUI, but it enables a lot of control over the inner workings of the SDR program. This allows us to try out different ideas for demodulators and to understand them better. With a little Python, you are also able to control the frequency of our SDR hardware from within the host program. Finally, we take a brief look at FPGA programming. This topic is so mighty that it will only be explained here using some basic examples. A sensitive monoband receiver is described, which you can easily expand to work with other frequencies and modes.
