(480 minutes).
This track is designed to give students a gentle (yet practical) introduction to SDR with GNU Radio. Topics will range from "party tricks” like tracking airplanes, to fundamental signal processing math, and reverse engineering. Feel free to bring your laptop for the workshop at the end of the class. Although you won’t need a physical radio, feel free to bring them along if you have one!
If you want to follow along, please make sure you have GNU Radio 3.7.x, gqrx, and your radio drivers installed and working. While I can help troubleshoot a few things with the install procedure, its best to have that ironed out before class begins. If you’re utterly stuck, download the GNU Radio Live DVD!

Tim Kuester
- Engineer at Tactical Network Solutions
Tim Kuester is a Computer Engineer employed at Tactical Network Solutions in Columbia, MD. He has experience doing turnkey engineering with projects involving radios, circuit boards, micro controllers, FPGAs, and reverse engineering. There's a CubeSat flying around in space with his firmware on it, a dust station sucking air somewhere in Africa, and many an abandoned circuit board lying lonely and forgotten in a dark dusty closet. Tim also teaches a Software Defined Radio course at TNSHQ. He’s too lame to have a blog or certifications. Wait, you're still reading? Erm... he has two cats whose names are totally not used in his passwords and/or password reset questions.
