Software-defined radio (SDR) moves encoding and decoding of radio signals into the software realm. It provides a flexibility that's useful in a range of applications, including signal interception, spectrum policy enforcement, interference detection, signal intelligence (SIGINT), and monitoring restricted areas such as military installations and airports. 

I talked with Per Vices CEO, Victor Woolesen, about the challenges and advantages of SDR.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
