There’s a problem with software defined radio. It’s not that everyone needs to re-learn what TEMPEST shielding is, and it’s not that Bluetooth is horribly broken. SDR’s biggest problem is one of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

Traditionally, working with RTL-SDR required a deep understanding of radio frequency (RF) principles and a significant investment in sourcing compatible components. This complexity often posed a ...

A wireless device that is reconfigurable via software. Software-defined radio enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface, and it allows multiple ...
