Often, mere curiosity is sufficient to do something. This is also the case with people trying to analyze the communication setup and protocol which SpaceX is using with their Ku-band based Starlink ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

There is a new breed of RF receivers known as software-defined radios, and they are revolutionizing the way in which people listen to shortwave (SW) radio, or indeed any form of radio broadcast. SDRs ...

If you've never heard of software-defined radio, that may be because some might liken it to outlaw pirate-radio; it's a wild-west wireless device which will, in theory, receive or transmit radio data ...

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 ...

I want to get just a little technical this week and talk about how radios work. I’m going to avoid the detailed, low-level engineering stuff, apart from saying that designing radios is at least as ...
