GNU Radio Companion
GNU Radio Software Radio Toolkit
The GNU Radio Companion (GRC) is a tool that allows users of all levels to design and modify high-rate signal processing applications. It is the GUI frontend for GNU Radio application designers.
GNU Radio is centered around the concept of the Block, which is a node in a signal processing flow graph. Since GNU Radio itself comes with a lot of useful blocks already, one can start developing real-time and hardware-interfacing or simulation flow graphs right away, using GRC as the tool to connect and parameterize these blocks.
GRC itself generates a program in a target language (Python or C++), which contains all the signal flow setup as defined visually.
GNU Radio provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems. . GNU Radio applications are primarily written using the Python programming language, while the supplied performance-critical signal processing path is implemented in C++ using processor floating-point extensions, where available. Thus, the developer is able to implement real-time, high-throughput radio systems in a simple-to-use, rapid-application-development environment. . While not primarily a simulation tool, GNU Radio does support development of signal processing algorithms using pre-recorded or generated data, avoiding the need for actual RF hardware. . This package contains the gnuradio-companion, a graphical tool for creating signal flow graphs and generating flow-graph source code. Also included are a variety of tools and utility programs.
