Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Software Defined Radios are revolutionizing wireless communications, but getting started can be a challenge. Much of the available SDR training veers either towards highly mathematical engineering classes or radio cookbooks with little explanation for the steps taken. This book builds on the first volume in the series, providing you both a deeper and broader understanding of gnuradio and analog radio design. Through a series of hands-on exercises, youll learn: - to build and operate an FM radio using real SDR hardware - to use more powerful and complex gnuradio blocks- about SDR architecture and how it applies on a practical level - what kinds of antennas and peripherals youll need in your SDR toolkit- key SDR and radio terms and how they impact your radios This second volume of our Field Expedient SDR series will take you from being an SDR novice to someone capable of building intermediate-level analog radios. Youll also be ready to dive into the digital wireless technologies covered by the third book in our series.

Preface
Intended Audience
As we told you in the first volume of this series, you cant have fun without fundamentals. In that first book we introduced you to gnuradio and then used it to work through some projects that demonstrated foundational radio concepts. The book you hold in your hands is written in a very similar way. We just want to take you deeper into the workings of gnuradio and build more on your understanding of how radios work.
In the previous volume, we worked in an entirely simulated environment. The upside to this approach was that it didnt require any hardware. The downside to this approach was that it didnt require any hardware. Although we will continue to use gnuradio in a simulation mode, we will also build real, hardware-based projects. Well also spend some time looking at the types of hardware youll need in addition to your SDR hardware.
If you havent read Volume 1, that may not be a problem if you have prior experience with gnuradio and RF technology. If either of those topics is entirely unfamiliar to you, then you should go back and start with the first book in the Field Expedient SDR series. If you are very familiar with the field of radio or digital signal processing, we issue a warning that you may be bored and/or insulted by this book, and that we will not pay for therapy required due to reading this material.
Please note that receiving radio data not meant for you may be illegal. Transmitting power in many portions of the frequency spectrum may also be illegal. Know the laws and regulation of your area, and make sure you have the proper authorization and permission before attempting some of the exercises herein.
General Layout of This Book Series
Volume 1 - Field Expedient SDR: Introduction to Software Defined Radio explains complex but foundational radio concepts through a series of projects that are easy to build and understand.
Volume 2 - Field Expedient SDR: Basic Analog Radio dives deeper into SDR theory and operation while also focusing on the intensely practical skills needed to make real-world radios work.
Volume 3 - Field Expedient SDR: Basic Digital Communications covers the techniques used to transmit and receive digital data via radio.
Volume 4 - Field Expedient SDR: Introduction to Reverse Engineering explores the art and science of analyzing unknown signals and then breaking them down to reveal the data within.
Where to Find the Files for This Book
To make your SDR learning experience as smooth as possible, weve provided a number of project and input data files on our web site at www.fieldxp.com . We recommend that you uncompress the contents into a convenient location on your hard drive, because we will be using the files frequently.
The contents of the compressed file are broken down by chapter, so you can easily find the files you need as you work through the material. We recommend that you build each project from scratch as shown in the books text, but we included the finished projects as a reference in case you run into trouble.
Each chapter will typically contain one or more input data files in addition to completed projects. Thanks to these input data files, it is possible to work through much of the material in this book without needing access to any SDR hardware.
Recommended Hardware
You will need some kind of software defined radio hardware to complete the exercises in this book. We recommend the HackRF One, although you can use other types of SDR hardware. Because this book has been written using the HackRF One as the expected hardware, you will need to modify a few of the steps if you choose to use another device.
A Note about Fonts
Youll also notice that we use a number of different fonts and text formats throughout the book. When you encounter the bold Courier font, this indicates text that is typed into a Linux terminal or text editor, such as:
mkdir sdr
or
change the value of frequency to 880e3
The Courier font is also used to highlight items selected from user interface menus:
for the Type property we select Float
We also reference the names of files that you can find in the project folder associated with this course. We have underlined those files names in the text, as in the following example:
... after you open the file simple_multiply.grc
Miscellaneous
This book relies heavily on screenshots to illustrate the various projects we cover. The images in the book will also look slightly different from what appears on your screen because you may be using a different version of gnuradio and also because we enlarged certain gnuradio display features for printing.
This book is written in a conversational tone, often including phrases like Remember when I told you.... Although this book has two authors, you will see that we use the term I rather than we throughout the book. We believe this choice makes the text more readable.
