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. 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.
A basic SDR system may consist of a personal computer equipped with a sound card, or other analog-to-digital converter, preceded by some form of RF front end. Significant amounts of signal processing are handed over to the general-purpose processor, rather than being done in special-purpose hardware. Such a design produces a radio which can receive and transmit widely different radio protocols (sometimes referred to as waveforms) based solely on the software used.
Software radios have significant utility for the military and cell phone services, both of which must serve a wide variety of changing radio protocols in real time.

The Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform demonstrates wireless communications across a wide bandwidth of 400 MHz to 4 GHz. The FMC analog front-end seamlessly integrates with Xilinx platforms, and all HDL code and design files are provided.
The talk will explain some basic concepts regarding Software Defined Radio and illustrate them with examples like AM and FM reception. As special application ADS-B (aircraft transponder) reception will be presented. Depending on the available time and the interest of the audience we will go into the depth of ADS-B decoding and the history of aircraft radio transponders. The authors host Metafly which makes heavy use of SDR for transponder decoding.
In today’s show I attempt to introduce the concept of a Software Defined Radio.
