This project revisits a minimalist software-defined radio (SDR) receiver built using a Raspberry Pi Pico, now optimized for simplicity and affordability. Designed for breadboard assembly with through-hole components, the receiver covers 0–30MHz, supporting CW, SSB, AM, and FM modes with an OLED display and spectrum scope. Key improvements include enhanced frequency accuracy, reduced op-amp saturation, and lower-cost components. Powered by three AAA batteries, it delivers standalone operation for global signal reception. Ideal for hobbyists, the design fosters experimentation and is documented with firmware and schematics available online.

Since 2012, the RTL-SDR is the simple and cheap way to give Software-Defined Radio a try. For about 25 euro you get a receiver covering much of the VHF and UHF range, and by either adding an upconverter, or using the direct sampling option, also the HF bands. They are so cheap because they are mass-produced as DVB-T receivers.

This article explains how software-defined radios (SDRs) are used to detect and visualize radio frequency interference (RFI). In part one, Dave details the process of capturing and analyzing RFI on the 80-meter band over a 24-hour period using tools like S-Meter Lite and Spectrum Lab. The SDR's wideband capabilities help identify and document RFI sources across large frequency ranges, making it a valuable tool for RFI detection and mitigation.

Direct conversion receivers (DCR) are gaining renewed interest due to advancements in semiconductor technologies and their suitability for integration in compact, low-cost, multi-standard applications. Unlike traditional superheterodyne receivers, DCR eliminates image frequencies and bulky off-chip filters but introduces challenges like DC offsets, nonlinearity, and noise issues. This tutorial explores DCR's historical development, compares it with other receiver architectures, and addresses its inherent obstacles. DCR's potential for integration and compatibility with software-defined radio highlights its role in modern communication systems despite its technical complexities.
