Very nice, and I think the ADALM-PLUTO is a very accessible SDR that is a step up from the RTL sticks that most folks start with.

Primarily because it can also send.

That and a price of $99 vs $300 for the low end of the "high end" SDRs.

But if you want to actually use the chip in a design, it's still $300.

Because discussed book name is "Software-Defined Radio for Engineers", and NOT "Software-Defined Radio for Dummies"[0]

This is awesome, thank you for making this available. Having had to piece this together from multiple books, blog posts, tutorials, GNU Radio, etc. having a single reference is really helpful

The sdrforengineers site is just a template, and it doesn't contain or link to anything useful.

I was excited about the book, but I couldn't even get the first MATLab example (gibbs.m) to work. What is scope()?

- link to video course "ECE4305 Software Defined Radio Systems and Analysis " as playlist on YouTube;[2]
