HackRF + GNU Radio: A software-defined radio to teach communication theory

Abstract: In this paper, an alternative to the traditional methodology related to signal processing-like subjects is proposed. These are subjects that require a deep mathematical and theoretical basis, but the practical goal is not often emphasized, which drives students to lose interest in the subject. Thus, a software-defined radio environment is proposed to provide a more practical view of the subject. This solution consists of an open hardware-software platform able to capture and process a wide range of frequencies… Show more

“…Its single RF channel can be set as either transmitter or receiver (half-duplex). It has been used in several different applications, such as RF exposure assessment [10], as a testbed for avionic wireless tests [11], as an education tool [12] and to measure WiFi spectrum occupancy [13]. SDR sensitivity is primarily defined by the the number of bits of its ADC.…”

“…This simulation tool helps students to enhance learning, understanding and saving the time of implementation and development of laboratory experiments. According to Del Barrio, Manzano, Maroto, Villarín, Pagán, Zapater et al (2019) that the use of simulations to study communication theory can help improve student understanding compared to using a traditional equation-based environment. This is also supported by Altintas (2011) related to the use of GUI MATLAB, which is used for teaching and learning power electronics courses, can behave as a front-end interface.…”

“…A Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is a term defined in 1990s by its creator Joseph Mitola, as an identifier for a class of radios that could be reprogrammed and reconfigured through software instead of hardware [6][7][8]. The concept of SDR has been evolving during recent decades but, in general, are those devices based on structure shown in Figure 1.…”
