SDRA2021 - 04 - Dr. Henning Paul: Building a flexible Multi-Antenna-capable SDR using open Source
Henning has been a hardware hacker since his childhood, but gained
interest in wireless communication only during his Diploma and PhD
studies in information technology at the University of Bremen. Having
left academia for the industry a few years ago, Henning decided to
intensify his free-time activities on Software Defined Radio and is
currently waiting for his Amateur Radio Novice License examination to be
finally able to transmit and not be restricted to receiving only.
The availability of Open Source software components enables the ambitious hardware hacker to design their own powerful SDR. This talk is the follow-up to the talk on Scientific SDR and recapitulates the steps towards the current design of a Homebrew SDR based on a Xilinx Zynq SoC using the Linux kernel and other Open Source components.
Furthermore, one of its applications, receiving shortwave radio with antenna diversity is presented.
