RAHSDR480 is a system-level course on software-defined radio. This course will be a foundation stone to help you get a Telecommunication, Defense, and Space Industry job. This course covers all fundamental concepts related to software-defined radios, including the transition from conventional radios to the software-defined radio, History and Evolution of Radios, Software Communications Architecture, Software-Defined Networking, Communication Standards, and Signals, Time and Frequency domain along with their measuring instrument, Decibel units. We will cover in detail SDR Hardware, including the radio frequency part and signal processing part, along with its advantages and disadvantages. We will do a teardown of a Software-defined radio to get knowledge about sub-circuits. Moreover, we will also discuss the different commercial hardware and software available for SDR. In the last module, we will discuss SDRs’ real-life applications like in 4G/5G communication, Ham radios etc..

Welcome to the Fundamentals of Software-defined radio (RAHSDR480) course, which we will cover in six modules. This course covers all fundamental concepts related to software-defined radios, including the transition from conventional radios to the software-defined radio, History and Evolution of Radios, Software Communications Architecture, Software-Defined Networking, Communication Standards, and Signals, Time and Frequency domain along with their measuring instrument, Decibel units. We will cover in detail SDR Hardware, including the radio frequency part and signal processing part, along with its advantage and disadvantage.
