Wiki :
"Mit dem Begriff Software Defined Radio (SDR) beschreibt man das Bestreben, möglichst die gesamte Signalverarbeitung eines Hochfrequenz-Senders oder -Empfängers mit Hilfe anpassbarer Hardware in Software abzubilden. Im engeren Sinn handelt es sich um ein Funktelekommunikationssystem, das eine software-konfigurierbare Plattform zur Modulation und Demodulation und Aufwärts- bzw. Abwärtsmischung eines Signals benutzt."
