Video of talk from Ruxcon 2011: Hacking the wireless world with Software Defined/GNU Radio

Hi folks,

For Ruxcon 2011 http://www.ruxcon.org.au/ I gave a presentation
<http://www.ruxcon.org.au/2011-talks/an-introduction-to-software-defined-rad
io> at the weekend covering some of the neat things you can do with
SDR. In
particular, I spoke about some of my recent projects that employ GNU
Radio:
tracking aircraft using Mode S/ADS-B
http://spench.net/drupal/research/mode-s in order to visualise your
local
airspace in web-streaming 3D, and creating a satellite communications
demodulator using blind signal analysis.

I’ve uploaded a video of the talk and would like to share it with you:

If you wish to skip to a specific section, just open the description
pane on
the video’s page and jump to a time in the topic list.

During the course of these projects, I added and modified a number of
GR/GRC
blocks. In the coming days, I will consolidate the modifications to the
GR
source tree into a patch, and put ‘gr-baz’ on GitHub. The gr-baz package
contains several new blocks, GRC block defs and Python scripts, e.g. for
sat
comms (automatic FEC parameter search, convolutional code
(de-)puncturing,
symbol swapping, raise-to-power, variable delay, text-file-dumper) and a
seamless BorIP http://wiki.spench.net/wiki/BorIP sample source
drop-in
for the USRP 1 and FUNcube Dongle to allow remote streaming and control
over
one’s LAN. I shall post the relevant info when it’s all up.

All comments are welcome!

Balint,
Great work, thanks! I’m looking forward to seeing your branch, and we’ll
work to move your innovations into GNU Radio.
