SDRangel is a comprehensive software defined radio and signal-analysis application. It supports both reception and transmission, can operate several SDR devices at the same time, and allows multiple processing channels to share the spectrum supplied by each device.
Its plugin-based design covers hardware interfaces, demodulators, modulators, analysers and specialised radio applications. The graphical application can therefore be used for everything from conventional listening to satellite work, digital radio, signal measurement and complex multi-device setups.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Receives and transmits using a broad range of SDR hardware.
- Supports multiple SDR devices simultaneously.
- Multiple receive or transmit channels can share a device passband.
- Channel plugins provide analogue and digital demodulation and modulation.
- Real-time spectrum and waterfall displays.
- Workspaces let device, spectrum, channel and feature panels be arranged independently.
- Includes dedicated channel and signal-analysis tools.
- Supports DAB, digital voice and numerous amateur-radio modes.
- Frequency scanning facilities automate searches across configured ranges.
- Mapping tools display geographically referenced radio information in two and three dimensions.
- Satellite and astronomical tracking facilities can work with supported rotators.
- Provides noise-figure measurement for RF testing.
- Supports specialist data networks and mesh-radio protocols through plugins.
- Headless server mode provides SDR processing without the graphical interface.
- REST API permits remote control and integration with external software.
- Remote SDR operation allows device and processing workloads to be distributed between systems.
- Plugin architecture allows new devices, channels and features to be added independently.
