What is Software Defined Radio (SDR)?
A Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components like mixers, filters, and amplifiers are implemented in software instead of hardware. SDR systems provide flexibility for wireless communications, offering the ability to change operating frequencies, protocols, and standards with software updates, making them ideal for experimentation, research, and development.
Software Defined Radio Applications
Software Defined Radio systems are used across a variety of industries and applications, including:
- Wireless communication research — Experiment with RF and wireless protocols
- Real-time signal processing — Capture and analyze signals in real-time
- Network testing and troubleshooting — Test network infrastructure and protocols
- RF experimentation — Prototype new wireless technologies and standards
- Educational tools — Used in academic environments for teaching communications theory and practice
