A software-defined radio system, or SDR, is a radio communication system where components that traditionally have been implemented in hardware (e.g. Mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software running on a personal computer or embedded computing devices.

While the concept of SDR is not new, the rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics now render practical many processes which used to be only possible in theory. Order the Elektor SDR.

This shield is based on the extremely popular published in the May 2007 issue of Elektor Electronics. The original author Burkhard Kainka also made this new design, now as a shield for an Arduino Uno (-based) microcontroller board. The antenna preselector section was omitted and the CY27EE16 programmable oscillator replaced by a SI5351 from Silicon Labs.

And of course the Arduino board takes over the functions of the FT232R USB interface in the original design. Xprog 5.3 Download. The first prototypes are built and tested and it looks like only some firmware tweaks are needed to finish this project!

A Software Defined Radio is a universal tool in RF technology circles, one that can also be put to use for making measurements. List of software-defined radios. This article provides a list of commercially available software-defined. Elektor SDR: Bare PCB and pre-built: 150 kHz.
