{{>toc}} h1. Welcome to [[OsmoSDR]] [[OsmoSDR]] is a 100% Free Software based small form-factor inexpensive SDR (Software Defined Radio) project. If you are familiar with existing SDR receivers, then [[OsmoSDR]] can be thought of something in between a "FunCube Dongle":http://tetra.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Funcube_Dongle (only 96kHz bandwidth) and a USRP (much more expensive). For a very cheap SDR (with limited dynamic range), you can use the DVB-T USB stick using the RTL2832U chip, as documented in [[rtl-sdr]]. It consists of a USB-attached [[Hardware]], associated [[Firmware]] as well as [[GrOsmoSDR]] gnuradio integration on the PC. The first generation hardware (1.2 MS/s) was available to interested developers from http://shop.sysmocom.de/ We are currently doing a re-design for the second-generation hardware, featuring higher sample rate and other goodies. [[BlogList(format=float,recent=5,max_size=350)]] Hardware schematics and firmware source code are kept in a git repository on git.osmocom.org. * cloe the repository like this: @git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sdr.git@ <pre> * web-browse the repository: "For a complete list of local wiki pages, see [[TitleIndex]]. h2.
