Eric will speak about the inception of GNU Radio, the initial vision, constraints, and opportunities, as well as the hardware and software targets and how they have evolved over time.
In addition he'll speak to insights in growing and nurturing an active community of developers and users, as well as the importance of the connection between GNU Radio and industry, government, and...
The European GNU Radio Days '24 are hosted at GSI/FAIR, a research-centre using particle accelerators to investigate the “Universe in the lab”. I will motivate why we use particle accelerators and how they work. The focus being on the reasons behind the layout of the many ring accelerators in our present and future research facility.

In this tutorial, we will explore modern C++ features that can be utilized to develop your own blocks and contribute to the GNU Radio 4 project. Specifically, we will focus on std::ranges and std::algorithm, demonstrating their practical applications in everyday tasks. We will highlight the benefits of these modern techniques compared to traditional C++ styles.
A key aspect of the tutorial...

The next generation of subatomic physics research faces monumental technological challenges. These complexities span multiple domains, from experimental design and the stable operation of accelerators and cutting-edge detectors to the acquisition of high-rate data streams and real-time data analysis, and ultimately to the interpretation of the results. Particularly, the distinction between...
With the speed of 400G coherent technology was introduced to pluggable optical transceivers (OIF 400ZR and OpenZR+). This technology is complex and powerful for your network, it even has influence on your network device operating system.
This talk will provide first insight in Nokia's implementation as well as known or potential interoperability issues addressed by the OIForum. If your...
This Talk will briefly explain the different working principles of common affordable GPSDOs and demonstrate how to build one using an so far uncommonly used mechanic - disciplining the GPS receivers clock itself.

Software Defined Radio, streaming digitized IQ samples over a network, provides the framework for creating a distributed coherent network of receivers or emitters with the ability to locate (trilateration) or steer (electronic beam steering) the recorded and emitted signals over long baseline, assuming the transceivers are synchronized. Long range time and frequency distribution over Gb...
Non-destructive Schottky detectors can be used to accurately determine the masses and lifetimes of exotic nuclei and their isomeric states in heavy ion storage rings. Single-ion sensitivity has been regularly achieved in the past using resonant cavity detectors. Recent detector designs and analysis methods aim to push the limits of measurement accuracy. A key component is the data acquisition...
