Synopsis

Right now, thousands of radio signals are passing through your room — aircraft, satellites, amateur operators, emergency services — and a $30 dongle can hear every one of them. But here's the problem: the software that decodes them either feels like a black box, or it doesn't exist at all.
The difference between owning an SDR and mastering it is knowing how to write the code that listens.
Programming SDR with GNU Radio & Python takes you from your very first flowgraph to building complete receivers from scratch — the way engineers actually learn: by doing, line by line.
Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Install and configure GNU Radio on Linux, Windows, and macOS — without the dependency nightmares
• Master IQ data, sampling theory, and digital signal processing with NumPy
• Design FIR filters to real specifications — window method and Parks-McClellan — then verify them on live signals
• Demodulate AM, FM, and SSB from primitive blocks, understanding every connection
• Write your own Python blocks and full C++ OOT modules with gr_modtool
• Build three complete capstone projects: a headless band scanner, an automated recorder, and a working broadcast receiver powered by your own compiled code

No black boxes. No "just click these blocks." By the final page, you won't just use GNU Radio — you'll be able to extend it.
Whether you're an engineer, a student, or a coder who's ever wondered what's hiding in the air around you, your radio is waiting to be programmed.
Scroll up and grab your copy — then turn on your receiver and start building.
