The whole world goes wireless. And digital. One technology is right in the center of these two megatrends: Software Defined Radio or short: SDR. Do you know how it works? And how you can take advantage of it?
Software-defined radio is a relatively new technology and was extremely expensive in the past. Then came this small USB dongle for 10$ and changed all. And other, more capable devices like the HackRF One for 300$ pushed this technology into the mainstream. Today, most modern radios used for example in Smartphones, in Amateur radio equipment, or Satellites are SDR radios.
