The term “software-defined radio” (SDR) describes a technology in which the functions of a radio system’s hardware components are instead defined by software. SDR systems are therefore more flexible than traditional radio systems, which are defined by hardware components with fixed functions. Take a look at what SDR is, how it works, what are the components of SDR and what its applications are. [Read more…] about What are the components of Software Defined Radio and its Applications
