Raj Bhattacharjea (DeepSig, Inc.)

9/21/26, 9:00 AM

5G and FutureG Wireless Technology

Workshop

Workshop

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the radio access network, but hands-on experimentation with AI-RAN has remained out of reach for most practitioners: commercial stacks are closed, and the gap between cellular physical-layer software and the SDR tools this community knows well is wide. This 3–4 hour hands-on workshop closes that gap using OCUDU—the...

Fundamental GNURadio Workshops

Workshop

Workshop

[This was one of two workshops at GNU Radio 2024, and is currently on YouTube. According to YouTube likes, this was the more popular of the two and will be updated to demonstrate Marimo, the open-source next generation Python notebook]

Control loops are ubiquitous wherever we need to maintain or stabilize a process variable to a desired set point. In software radio, these techniques are...

37. TorchSig: v2.x, Models, Geolocation, GUI

Erebus Oh

9/22/26, 11:00 AM

Workshop

Workshop

TorchSig, an open-source signal processing machine learning (ML) library, is expanding into a reproducible Radio Frequency Machine Learning (RFML) framework with its most recent v2.x releases. We present an interactive workshop that covers: v2.x updates, new libraries torchsig-models and torchsig-gui, and new geolocation capabilities.

TorchSig v2.x updates include a complete restructure of...

38. FPGA Processing on USRP Radios Using the RFNoC Framework

Mr Neel Pandeya (National Instruments), Jonathon Pendlum (National Instruments)

9/22/26, 1:00 PM

SDR Framework Development

Workshop

Workshop

This workshop provides a tutorial on the RFNoC framework, including a discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several practical examples, and a walk-through of implementing a user-defined RFNoC Block and integrating it into both UHD and GNU Radio. The RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) framework is the FPGA architecture used in USRP devices, specifically the E310, E312, E320,...

32. Walk-Through of AI-Assisted Development of GNU Radio-Based SDR Applications

Carl Dietrich (Virginia Tech and Software Defined Radio Solutions, LLC)

9/22/26, 1:00 PM

Intermediate & Advanced GNURadio Workshops

Workshop

Workshop

In this workshop, we will demonstrate examples of GNU Radio processing blocks and/or flow graphs developed with assistance of AI engines. Blocks developed to date include a Peak-to-Average Power (PAPR) measurement block, a three-dimensional plot sink, and a source block that uses pre-existing speech-synthesis software to generate a stream of real-valued speech samples suitable for purposes...

52. Beyond the Antenna: Non-SDR Applications of GNURadio

Neil Rogers (Analog Devices)

9/22/26, 3:30 PM

Applications of GNURadio

Workshop

Workshop

GNU Radio is universally recognized as the benchmark open-source framework for Software Defined Radio. However, at its core is a high-performance DSP engine which is fundamentally hardware agnostic. By restricting our view of GNURadio to the RF spectrum, we overlook its massive potential for general-purpose test and measurement, audio processing, sensor integration, and control loop...

33. Implementation and Testing of Multi-Antenna Techniques using GNU Radio and Low-Cost SDR Hardware

Carl Dietrich (Virginia Tech and Software Defined Radio Solutions, LLC)

9/23/26, 1:00 PM

Practical applications using GNURadio

Workshop

Workshop

This workshop will demonstrate use of GNU Radio and low-cost SDR hardware such as the Pluto Plus and RTL-SDR to develop and employ multi-antenna techniques to improve signal detection. Examples will include selection diversity, equal-gain combining, maximal ratio combining, and one or more blind adaptive beamforming techniques such as the least-squares constant modulus algorithm (LS-CMA),...

4. You can do everything with MultiUSRP, and for everything else there is RFNoC

Marian Koop (NI), Mr Neel Pandeya (National Instruments)

9/23/26, 1:00 PM

Hardware for GNU Radio

Workshop

Workshop

This session offers a comprehensive tutorial on using the MultiUSRP API and RFNoC API of the USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) driver to leverage USRP devices for real-time RF data streaming. Attendees will be introduced to UHD, exploring its core architecture and the functionalities of the MultiUSRP and RFNoC APIs. The tutorial includes practical examples, options to counter streaming errors, and...

Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) is the
first wireless communication research platform envisioned and built to allow studying the
convergence of advanced wireless communication technologies (such as 5G) and autonomous
drones. The platform became generally available to the public in November 2021.
AERPAW as a Batch-Mode facility. Experimenters...
