GNU Radio

Presented at DEF CON 10 (2002), Aug. 2, 2002, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

Wireless communication devices have traditionally been exclusively hardware in nature. Software has augmented and is now replacing basic functional elements of radio systems. The conclusion of this process is a radio where almost all functions are performed by software. GNU Radio is a collection of software that when combined with minimal hardware, allows the construction of radios where the actual waveforms transmitted and received are defined by software. What this means is that it turns the digital modulation schemes used in today's high performance wireless devices into software problems.
