Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] A newcomer needs help with SDR Projects list

[Derek Kozel]

Hello Ash,

A project, which would be a challenge, would be to implement a set of GNU Radio blocks for NRSC-5. This blog post does a great job of breaking down the different layers and there is a GPLv3 licensed code base for reception included.

This definitely isn't a complete beginner project, but is simpler than WiFi or any other protocol which is bi-directional. It's also the type of project which would be useful to the GNU Radio community and you could likely get helpful responses. Given that you have a graduate background in some digital communications the fundamental ideas are probably familiar to you. The actual implementation details are in the receive source code and GNU Radio has many of the basic components already such as Viterbi decoders and blocks for working with OFDM.

Simpler would be something like the JT digital modes.

Hello everyone , 

I have limited background with RF Systems because of my graduate level courses in wireless and digital communications and NOT any industr experience in PHY Layer .

 Now , I am working on vehicle-to-vehicle communications in an Automotive OEM industry mostly at application layer level using V2V Radios

I am planning to move to PHY layer . So, I brought my own software defined radio (hackRF one) and learning GNU Radio to use with it after office hours.  I did go through these books which pretty much focus on  using SDR and GNU Radio for simple wireless communications... (doesn't go much in technical detail though)  http://www.fieldxp.com/buy/ 

I would like to do some real-time projects like sending and receiving data using WiFi / or any other real time wireless communications.  . But I do need a baseline for that as I am not a full time practitioner of wireless communications and its been 2 years I worked with those devices at my school. 

Are there any links/location (or) anyone have some documentation of any project which is publicly available which i can go through , understand and implement it ... 

Please any comments/suggestions to improve my usage on software defined radios will be helpful .. 

 I know this a a great forum for GNU Radio discussion , but please help out a newbie who want to get into the world of software defined radios. 

Best Regards

Ash
