GNURadio Articles

Note: The contents of the articles below need a revamp. After being exposed to a wonderful content from a company called EMONA TIMS, I am in a better place to explain analog and digital communications that will prepare the reader to understand SDR using GNURadio contents better. For now, I will leave what I have available online, but I will make an effort to start developing new content as soon as possible.

Collection of articles and tools about GNURadio (Download Link) to support Digital Communications classes. All the examples are done with RadioConda windows version (GitHub Installer).

Note: The examples provided in the articles below are done only for windows. If you are using GNURadio under linux, the project files might not be 100% compatible. The python code will always be available so it is possible to run the examples without RadioConda installed. However, you might need to install some of the python packages used inside of those python files.
