Description
SDR is a reality around us. It is present in a lot of systems everywhere and is a versatile technology which can be used for many things, not only academics and industrial, but also ethical hacking etc. This course will comprehensively cover developing software defined radio (SDR) communications systems using the GNU Radio signal processing and development environment. The course is structured so that concepts and theory can be instantly translated to practice with hands-on implementations. We use two hardware SDR platforms:  Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) as transmitter and RTL-SDR as a receiver. However, the course is designed in such a way that even if you do not have USRP, you can use any other cheap SDR as transmitter easily with slight changes in gnuradio. As far as RTL-SDR is concerned, you can easily acquire this device for $19 only.At the end of this course you will be able to make a data-communication link using SDRs.This comprehensive course is comprised of following sections to cover all the important aspects of 'Software Defined Radio' environment:Section 1: IntroductionSection 2: Communication fundamentals related to SDRSection 3: Block Diagram of SDR Hardware ExplainedSection 4: GNU Radio for Wireless CommunicationSection 5: Combating the Impairments of The Wireless ChannelSection 6: Packet Transmission using GNU Radio
