Description

An increasing number of educational institutions
make use of SDRs as a low-cost means of demonstrating
a wide range of communication system applications.
However, due to the interrelationship between various
hardware and software configurations, this approach introduces
significant logistical and pedagogical complexities.
As with any open source project, getting started with
GNU Radio in the classroom can be a daunting prospect;
furthermore, the wide range of available hardware can
make navigating the landscape even more complicated. This
short course aims to fill this gap by providing a sufficient
foundation for classroom SDR usage, including lessons
learned from several years experience in the following
areas:
• SDR hardware overview and recommendations
• SDR configuration
• Software configuration
• Curriculum topics
• Potential hands-on projects
• Question/Answer time
