Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been typically implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system.[1] While the concept of SDR is not new, the rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics render practical many processes which used to be only theoretically possible.

Our new LoRa/HAT with Raspberry PI3, excited and ready to play:

My tutorial videos:

Use Raspberry pi to make home made surveillance camera streaming to YouTube and watch it all around the world for 80$ or less!

How to assemble N210 USRP SDR with GPS and Daughterboard:

At this video, I am going to show how to receive images from weather satellite NOAA 15,18, 19.
Although we've tried HackRF but USRPs and BladeRF etc can follow the same instructions.
used software:
orbitron
sdrplay
wxtolmg
audacity

send a text file from one SDR to another:

SDR operates as a relay (USRP) full duplex:

-- In this video, I am going to solve a problem with installing GNURADIO on Raspberry pi3 due to CPU incompatibility between armv7 and armv8 [Sending QPSK and observe it on signal analyzer]

Unfortunately, at this time that I am making this video there is no official 64bit ARMv8 Operating System(OS) for Raspberry pi 3. It seems that Raspberry manufacturer forced armv8 1200 MHZ board to work as ARMv7 ! and this gonna give you an error during installation of GNURADIO on Raspberry pi 3(probably GNSS-SDR too) so in order to resolve this problem we inspect all those OS and then came into the following instruction in order to install this software. feel free to ask questions. unfortunately the image of this OS is 8.5GIG and I didn't find any server for this big size files and high bandwidth for all users. have fun!

Tutorial video of how to install GNURADIO on Linux for Software Defined Radio board like HACKRF or BLADERF .etc and how to solve the problem of version incompatibility between GNURADIO AND Osmosdr components

Working and playing with USRP boards (trying synchronisation) [How to install USRP in linux, using them in gnuradio, starting DBPSK AND FSK modulation, getting BER, finding USRP serial to address them]

I just received my Blueboard, Rx tested with gain . TX tested. everything works well.
Here is my experience of GPS signal acquisition with BLADERF SDR boards through GNURADIO software:

FM transmitter:
Here is a simple FM transmitter using SDR (SAME CONFIGURATION FOR OTHER SDRs TOO
you can change he parameters with your own preference

and here is a amateur video of successfully implementing in home !

Kalman filter

Kalman filter is a recursive minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator of system hidden state as a function of previous estimates and measurements.
