A device that allows you to create a software radio using any computer with a USB 2 port. Various plug-on

daughterboards allow the USRP to be used on different radio frequency bands. Daughterboards are available

from DC to 2.9 GHz at this time. The entire design of the USRP is open source.

The USRP works with GNU Radio, a free-software (open source) framework for the creation of software

defined radios. Both the USRP and GNU Radio work on all of the following operating systems: Linux Windows

Max OS X, PPC and Intel processors FreeBSD and NetBSD

Fully open source, but the web page is quite vague about what these components actually do. From what I can

tell, it's basically a DAQ system presumably with an RF amplifier and filters. The digitized data are sent to your

PC via a USB 2.0 port. From there, you're on your own. GnuRadio may be able to demodulate some types of

signals. This is a promising concept, but is still very much a work in progress. No specs available yet.

Summary of WinRadio models

Winradio has been producing some very interesting wideband computer-controlled receivers for several years.

The performance has been gradually increasing. Most models come in both an internal and an external version.

Some have digital signal processing (DSP) features such as spectrum display. However, be careful with internal
