Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio

Posted by michael on from the modern-crystal-radio dept.

Eric Blossom is an electrical engineer with a history of working with radio and communications security. He gave a presentation at the recent H2K2 conference about his work with GNU Radio, which is, bar none, the single most exciting software project in existence today. (Imagine computing devices that communicate seamlessly across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.) As usual, we'll forward some of the best questions to Eric and post his responses when we receive them.

    Marconi had the most exciting hardware project of his day. This is refinement, and arguably not even inspired refinement. I've been interpreting EM radiation as digital information for more than a year using freely downloadable software.
