We will present the final results of the sub-activities undertook within SDRmakerspace in three 2-hour slots (for which you are requested to register separately) in the afternoon at 15:00 CEST (13:00 UTC) on Mon 6, Tue 7 and Wed 8 September 2021. The event is organized by the European Space […]
Great to see the videos of talks delivered at the Software Defined Radio Academy at HamRadio 2019 Friedrichshafen. In this video Alex and Sheila talk through evaluating SDR boards and tool chains, creating realistic conditions for them with regard to their use for open source satellite communications. In case you […]
As part of a wider team from across Libre Space Foundation at Ham Radio 2019 Friedrichshafen Manolis gave an excellent presentation within the Software Defined Radio Academy about the work of the SDR makerspace. Check it out above.
A high throughput, low latency open-source LDPC decoder optimized for x86 processors. With the increasing popularity of Software Defined Radio, there is more and more a need for high performance software implementations of signal processing. For example, an LDPC decoder implementation would be greatly beneficial to the SDR community as […]
SDR makerspace were very proud to have 2 presentations delivered at FOSDEM 2019. Both taking place in the extremely busy Free Software Radio devroom. Alex Csete spoke about the SDR makerspace as a whole, whilst Nestoras Sdoukos gave an excellent technical overview of the gr-Soapy module for GNU Radio. In […]
A new open source tool that simulates the telecommunication channel between an Earth ground station and an orbiting satellite. Telecommunication systems are affected by a plethora of signal impairments imposed by the wireless channel. The development, debugging and evaluation of such systems should be performed under realistic channel conditions, that […]
Software Defined Radio (SDR), the concept of using software instead of physical components to create radio systems has seen enormous growth due to advancements in digital electronics and open-source. In order to further facilitate the use of SDR technologies in satellite communications, the European Space Agency and Libre Space Foundation […]
