Getting Started with HackRF and SDR (Software Defined Radio)

The main area I was appointed to, at the beginning of my internship at SCoRe lab, was digital signal processing(DSP) Software Defined Radio is software made to provide work carried out by hardware, it is a budding topic at SCoRe lab. I was introduced to GNURadio[2], an open source Software Defined Radio tool used worldwide for Digital Signal Processing work, and to HackRF, the best device I've come across during my university life. GNURadio consists of blocks, which can be used to create a graph called a “flow graph”. '​HackRF One' from Great Scott Gadgets is a SDR peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1MHz to 6 GHz.

I was also suggested a book, The Scientist's and Engineer's guide to DSP, which was my
companion throughout the internship. I got to explore the area of signal processing, which was the best experience I earned from the internship. I was able to carry out the experiments and started writing this blog from the knowledge I gained by them.

Save recorded data with hackRF to a .raw file

Image
HackRF receives data at a very high speed. It produces about 1GB data within 40 seconds of recording. These data can be saved to a file, to process later. I use the .raw file format here. The file can be created separately in .raw format and use a flow graph to record data. But the easiest way is to use the following command which creates the file and save data in one command. hackrf_transfer -r .raw -f  433000000 -s 20000000 Further info about hackRF_transfer command:                      about naming a file: You can use CTRL+C to stop recording data. Flow graph method: Waterfall Sink block allows us to see live data being recorded by HackRF and File Sink block saves data to the file named.

Listen to FM radio with HackRF and SDR

Here is a block diagram referenced when creating a flow graph to listen to FM radio channels in my area. I will explain what each block does here. Osmocom Source: This block is the one which communicated with hardware. It provides collected data from hackRF to SDR for processing. We further process and play with the data provided from this block. The sample rate and frequency should be set here. Signal Source: Generates wave form. Multiply block: Multiply the two digital signals. WX GUI FFT Sink:   This block visualizes the frequency components of the signal. Collected data from Osmocom source is directed to this block which provides a graphical view of captured signals. Low Pass Filter: A low pass filter generally cuts off the high frequencies provided the cut off frequency value, and filter out the low frequencies. Here we use this block to filter our signal. Cut off frequency is 75000Hz. We set the decimation parameter to reduce the sample rate. (10 million divi...
