Every passing year sees radio transceivers get nearer to the ideal software-defined radio (SDR). The "ideal" will occur when the antenna is connected directly to a DSP baseband processor, which ...

No doubt most tech and electronic enthusiasts have encountered buzz around SDR, software-defined radio, and asked themselves “what’s the sudden big deal,” if the technology existed for decades? The re ...

CubeSats are tiny satellites which tag along as secondary payloads during launches. They have to weigh in at under 1.33 kg, and are often built at low cost. There’s even open source designs for these ...

Software defined radio (SDR) has been one of your popular search topics this year on RF DesignLine. Recently I had the opportunity to hear from some people who are very active in this market: Frank ...

Hobbyists who listen for distant signals often face a dilemma. The best places to hear distant “DX” signals are in remote and rural areas that are free of electrical interference. Unfortunately, many ...
