Atwater Kent Laboratories Building, Room 227
HOST:
- Dr. Tom R., Rondeau Research LLC
COMPLIMENTARY:
- Free parking
- Free pizza, drinks, and dessert provided
The GRHW is a great opportunity for people to learn about how to
productively use GNU Radio and USRP devices. The workshop is aimed
at both novice users as well as at those with some previous basic
experience.
The GRHW will be run by Dr. Tom R., who will briefly speak about
the current state and future directions of the GNU Radio project.
Then attendees will work in groups to implement a communications
system from scratch, with guidance from other attendees and the event
organizers to answer questions and help with problems. A working
system will be presented at the end. The objective will be to
implement a commercial FM stereo receiver, with RDS support. For
people new to GNU Radio, the staff at GRHW will provide a guided
walk-through of how to get started and complete most of the task.
Attendees are required to bring their own laptops. Laptops with
USB 3.0 ports are strongly suggested. USRP B210 and N210 radios
will be provided. Bootable live USB flash drives will also be
provided, so nothing will need to be installed on attendees’ laptops.
