Turn ADALM-Pluto into a practical software-defined radio lab.
ADALM-Pluto SDR Projects 2026 is a hands-on guide to exploring software-defined radio, RF signals, digital communications, and signal processing with the PlutoSDR platform.
Rather than stopping at theory, this book shows you how to work with ADALM-Pluto through practical projects using GNU Radio, Python, MATLAB, Simulink, libiio, and other essential SDR tools. You'll progress from device setup and SDR fundamentals to capturing IQ data, visualizing the RF spectrum, processing signals, building transmit-and-receive chains, and experimenting with digital modulation.
Inside, you'll explore ADALM-Pluto setup and configuration, RF spectrum analysis, IQ signals, GNU Radio workflows, Python-based SDR experiments, MATLAB and Simulink, digital signal processing, filtering, FFT analysis, BPSK, QPSK, FSK, QAM, OFDM, transmitter and receiver design, signal capture, measurement, troubleshooting, and practical wireless communication projects.
Designed for SDR beginners, engineering students, radio enthusiasts, makers, developers, and wireless communication learners, this guide provides a structured path from your first PlutoSDR connection to increasingly capable hands-on experiments.
Whether you want to understand DSP, explore RF signals, experiment with digital communications, or build practical SDR projects, this book helps transform complex concepts into experiments you can understand, reproduce, and develop further.
