The complete installation instructions can be found on Run some installation scripts (also to install the USB driver). Therefore i decided to post this summary how to install SDR# on Windows 10 on my blog. Installing the (limited) software that comes with the dongle even makes it more difficult to full use the dongle with a program like SDR# However it is (currently) not just plug and play. Installing SDR# ( SDRSharp) is not extreme difficult. There us also software that can be installed on Android or on a Raspberry Pi. It seems SDR data can also be shared over the (local) network. 433MHz radio remote controls for switching lamps, garage doors, car, WiFi and more.
SDR can be used to check radio frequencies e.g. For advanced experiments perhaps better use a part of your budget for your antenna. There are more expensive and advanced devices available however a cheap dongle will be sufficient to do a lot of experiments. A simple SDR USB dongle can be bought for around 20 euro. This makes that it can be used over a very wide frequency range and also use different modulation modes (FM, AM, SSB and TV) by software settings.Īs limited hardware is needed it is relative cheap. However i epect with a better antenna, or a better location for my antenna a lit can be improved.Īdvantages of SDR over traditional radio?Ī lot of the receiver is replaced by software. I installed the SDR# ( SDRSharp ) software and it worked fine. With the dongle came a cd with software to receive some audio and TV signals.Ī quick investigation on internet shows that it is not advised to install this software as it will interferes with SDR# software. The optimal antenna will depend on the frequency and project you are interested in.ģ) A computer (with audio sound output and USB input) running the SDR Software. The antenna that came with my dongele works resonable in the FM range but can not replace a real good antenna suitable for a specific frequency, frequency range. For good reception the antenna needs to be matched to the frequency.
However the SDR can process frequencies in a broad frequency range. This will work fine for the first experiments and testing the SDR dongle. With the SDR dongels most times comes a small antenna. I have an RT820T dongle ( DVB-T+DAB+FM USB2.0 dongle ) Most documentation i found is not about the RT820T but about the R820T dongle, however my dongle worked fine. While the concept of SDR is not new, the rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics render practical many processes which were once only theoretically possible. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system.
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been traditionally implemented in hardware (e.g. Recently i installed SDR# Radio software on my Windows 10 computer.
