#286 How does Software Defined Radio (SDR) work under the Hood? SDR Tutorial
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
The whole world goes wireless. And digital. One technology is right in the center of these two megatrends: Software Defined Radio or short: SDR. Do you know how it works? And how you can take advantage of it? If you do not want to take the time to watch Michael Ossmann's (Great Scott Gadgets) series, then this SDR tutorial is for you Software-defined radio is a relatively new technology and was extremely expensive in the past. Then came this small USB dongle for 10$ and changed all. And other, more capable devices like the HackRF One for 300$ pushed this technology into the mainstream. Today, most modern radios used for example in Smartphones, in Amateur radio equipment, or Satellites are SDR radios. This is the reason for the tutorial.
