Cables and ConnectionsThe job of the feed cable is to carry the signal from the antenna to the receiver. The feed cable is made up of an inner conductor, which can be a single solid wire or a multi-stranded one. Surrounding the inner core there is the inner dielectric insulator, then a woven copper shield and finally an outer plastic covering.

ModulationWhile engaging in the projects within this book, we will encounter two types of radio signals. The first is an artificial radio signal, and the second is a natural radio signal. The trick is knowing which is which. We also need to know if these radio signals are modulated or not.

大吃大喝

The Software-Defined Radio (SDR)Regardless of its modulation, a radio signal can be looked upon as an alternating current (AC), granted a very small one. This alternating current is therefore an analogue signal.

别炫耀

SDR SoftwareThere are several different versions of SDR software, available either as license-paid or freeware. The best thing to do is try the freeware, and if a more advanced version is required, look at some of the paid versions. The two that will be discussed here are both freeware.
