Explore Software Defined Radio: Use SDR to Receive Satellite Images and Space Signals: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Explore Software Defined Radio: Use SDR to Receive Satellite Images and Space Signals" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Do you want to be able to receive satellite images using nothing but your computer, an old TV antenna, and a $20 USB stick? Now you can. At last, the technology exists to turn your computer into a super radio receiver, capable of tuning in to FM, shortwave, amateur ham, and even satellite frequencies, around the world and above it. Listen to police, fire, and aircraft signals, both in the clear and encoded. And with the books advanced antenna design, theres no limit to the signals you can receive.
Combine your desktop or laptop computer with easy-to-find, Software Defined Radio (SDR) equipment, and tune in a wide range of signals in no time at all. Then, go one step further by converting a Raspberry Pi into your own dedicated SDR device.
SDR USB dongles are usually designed to receive and decode high-definition digital television broadcasts, but the rising popularity of SDR has led to several of these devices being specifically made for - and marketed to - the software radio crowd. With step-by-step instructions, youll have no problem getting everything up and running on both Windows and Linux.
The antenna is the final piece in the SDR puzzle: Which antenna do you use? What shape do you need? How big does it have to be? And where do you point it? Get all the answers you need and learn whats possible when it comes to picking out or building an antenna. And if youre not particularly handy, dont worry. You can use an old-school set of rabbit ear antennas without too much modification.
Discover the fun of this growing hobby and then open your ears to the hidden signals that surround you.
What You Need:
You will need a relatively recent computer or laptop, running either Windows or Ubuntu Linux. You can also use a Raspberry Pi. All of the software necessary is free and open-source, and the book describes in detail where to get it and how to install it, depending on your operating system.

This book serves as a great introduction to beginners because it collates all the requisite hardware and software tools. It also helps you walk through the SDSharp and play with the tool.

The manuscript was very well written, and Ive been having fun playing with the AIRSPY software tuning in stations and listening to digital police scanners in my county in Georgia.

I could recommend the book to someone who is interested in a practical approach to radio signals but has little to no experience on them. The book is an approachable introduction with step-by-step instructions for installing and running software.

Well written and very comprehensive, it is a good introduction to a hard topic.

Acknowledgments
The offspring suggested I make a few acknowledgments: "Id like to thank my arms for always being at my side, and my legs for always supporting me..."
Id like to think Im not quite that dorky, though I may be close. Instead, Id like to thank:
Chloe, for ensuring that all projects built are equipped with evasive maneuvering capabilities.
Oliver, for making sure that the office door hinges work well.
Loki, for ensuring that Im able to hear in case of an emergency and for making sure Im not forgotten in the office.
Smudge, for emotional support (both giving and receiving).
Sai Yamanoor, Mike Lewis, Oona Risnen, Gianluigi Spagnuolo, and Youssef Touil for tech editing the book, spotting errors, and ensuring that the projects worked for everybody. What errors may remain in this book are mine and mine alone.
Everyone at The Pragmatic Bookshelf for taking a chance with this book.
Patrick Di Justo, for doing an awesome job, as always, of making my stuff sound the way I wanted it to sound.
Rebecca and Reed, as always, for putting up with my disappearances and weird projects, sometimes with little or no explanation.
Introduction
For several years in my travels online, I kept hearing and reading about SDR, or software-defined radio. It seemed interesting, but (at least at first) I didnt have the time or motivation or learn more about it.
I gradually picked up a news item here or a Reddit post there, but I still didnt know the details of SDR. All I knew for sure was that the topic was complicated and it allowed you to use your computer to pick up radio signals. Instead, I concentrated on more easily learned things like partial differential equations and making the perfect souffl.
Then, not too long ago, I got an email from my editor. Hey Wolf, he wrote. How would you like to do a book on SDR? Ever heard of it? It was time to jump into the pool again, and this time I didnt come out until I figured out just what the heck was going on in this weird mix of hardware, software, Internet, and radio waves and wrote it all down.
This book is the result. Its all about how to use your computer or laptop to pick up radio signals from the earth and space using a fairly recent technology called SDR.
On the surface, receiving radio signals doesnt seem like a big deal. After all, everyones familiar with satellite TV, right? Even before Dish Network and DirecTV made it commonplace, anyone with a few grand and a good view of the sky could erect a 2-meter satellite dish in their backyard, hook it up to their TV with an esoteric jumble of electronic bits and pieces, and enjoy watching Japanese television in their living room. The radio waves are there; its just a matter of receiving and decoding them.
