Starting with fundamental concepts in digital communications, signal processing, and
probability, this book provides practical insights on topics such as timing estimation, carrier
recovery, frame synchronization, equalization, and OFDM in order to enable the reader to
ultimately implement and experiment with real-world communication systems using SDR.
All experiments and exercises are built around the ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module
(Pluto SDR) from Analog Devices Inc., an affordable and versatile SDR platform available
to both students and professional engineers, with code written in MATLAB. MATLAB source
code is included to provide an ecosystem for the reader to conduct over-the-air
experiments across the many topics covered in the book.
