Software Defined Radio (SDR) has fundamentally changed the way radio communications systems are implemented. SDR technology bridges the traditional divide between radio electronics and computing. Computing is now at the heart of most engineering disciplines, so a practical appreciation of SDR is an ideal way to show that the radio spectrum is just as accessible as the visible light spectrum or indeed the audio spectrum. SDR is in effect the “camera” or the “microphone” to access the radio spectrum!
SDRplay has sponsored the University of Rome, La Sapienza, department of Aeronautics, to develop a practical course that will inspire Science, Technology and Engineering students to nurture their understanding of radio communications.
This video introduces the 11 lecture course which provides teachers with materials and practical workshops that lead students from the first switch-on of an SDR through signal reception, demodulation, and successful communications in a satellite-related exercise.
This course is ideal for nurturing a real appreciation of radio communications though hand-on practical learning. The reason something better than a cheap dongle is used is that the RSP1A has better dynamic range and most importantly, built in filters to minimise the effects of phantom signals. Together with the SDRuno software, it’s an SDR receiver which does a good job of faithfully picking up the real signals – not only that, you can go on to make real calibrated signal level measurements and use it as a spectrum analyser lab tool. It’s a springboard to reliably accessing the rest of the RF spectrum
SDRplay is a registered UK company making the RSP family of SDR receivers which, unlike cheaper dongle devices, provide communications receiver quality reception from 1kHz to 2GHz. Find out more by visiting sdrplay.com
