Hi folks,

 

For Ruxcon 2011 I gave a presentation at the weekend covering some of the neat things you can do with SDR. In particular, I spoke about some of my recent projects that employ GNU Radio: tracking aircraft using Mode S/ADS-B in order to visualise your local airspace in web-streaming 3D, and creating a satellite communications demodulator using blind signal analysis.

 

I've uploaded a video of the talk and would like to share it with you:

If you wish to skip to a specific section, just open the description pane on the video's page and jump to a time in the topic list.

 

During the course of these projects, I added and modified a number of GR/GRC blocks. In the coming days, I will consolidate the modifications to the GR source tree into a patch, and put 'gr-baz' on GitHub. The gr-baz package contains several new blocks, GRC block defs and Python scripts, e.g. for sat comms (automatic FEC parameter search, convolutional code (de-)puncturing, symbol swapping, raise-to-power, variable delay, text-file-dumper) and a seamless BorIP sample source drop-in for the USRP 1 and FUNcube Dongle to allow remote streaming and control over one's LAN. I shall post the relevant info when it's all up.

 

All comments are welcome!

Balint,

Great work, thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing your branch, and we'll work to move your innovations into GNU Radio.
