The CuteSDR application's primary purpose is for spawning custom applications or for educational use. It is NOT a full featured program as it is purposely kept simple in order for developers to more easily spin off their own applications. A further goal was to use only the stock functionality of Qt ie no libraries or special drivers. This limits CuteSDR to using only a network connection. The main gui and framework is written by Moe Wheatly, AE4JY.

CuteSDR itself has only a network interface and will directly support the RFSPACE NetSDR and SDR-IP radios. The siqs_ftdi and SDRxxServer applications (packaged separately) provide network interfaces to RFSPACE USB devices.

GNU Radio provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

GNU Radio applications are primarily written using the Python programming language, while the supplied performance-critical signal processing path is implemented in C++ using processor floating-point extensions, where available. Thus, the developer is able to implement real-time, high-throughput radio systems in a simple-to-use, rapid-application-development environment.

While not primarily a simulation tool, GNU Radio does support development of signal processing algorithms using pre-recorded or generated data, avoiding the need for actual RF hardware.

This package contains the gnuradio-companion, a graphical tool for creating signal flow graphs and generating flow-graph source code. Also included are a variety of tools and utility programs.

Hardware supported includes OpenHPSDR Hermes / Metis and Red Pitaya using the OpenHpsdr protocol.

hermesNB sources decimated downconverted 48K-to-384K receiver complex stream(s), and sinks one 48k sample rate transmit complex stream.

hermesWB sources raw ADC samples as a vector of floats, with vlen=16384. Each individual vector contains time contiguous samples. However there are large time gaps between vectors. This is how HPSDR produces raw samples, it is due to Ethernet interface rate limitations between HPSDR and the host computer.

The modules are compatible with version 3.8 of gnuradio and versions of Hermes firmware 1.8 through at 3.2. (known as OpenHPSDR protocol 1). It is not compatible with the new OpenHPSDR protocol 2.

This package contains the header files and grc block definitions.

Controller application for the Funcube Dongle software defined radio receiver, built using the HID API library and the Qt GUI toolkit.

The Funcube Dongle is a small software defined radio receiver for 64 MHz - 1.7 GHz. It fits into a computer's USB port and uses USB audio to transfer complex I/Q data to SDR applications. The control API for setting frequency, gain, filter, etc. uses the USB HID standard.

It provides full support for the Funcube Dongle API::

• Change frequency and apply frequency correction.
• Change RF gains and filters.
• Change IF gains and filters.
