Build Your Own AM Receiver with Practical SDR
Chapter 4 of 'Practical SDR' guides you through building an AM receiver. Perfect for hobbyists, students learning wireless communications, or engineers prototyping RF designs, this book teaches you to build virtual radio receivers, extract audio from real AM and FM signals, understand amplitude modulation, and master IQ sampling using GNU Radio Companion. You'll learn to manipulate frequencies from 1MHz to 6GHz, filter noise, optimize SDR performance, and demodulate real radio signals. Bridging the gap between tutorials and advanced applications, this book provides a foundation for understanding modern wireless systems. Some projects require SDR hardware like a HackRF One and antenna.
