The goal of this project is to get education and experience in the complex field of SDR technology and build applications for reception and transmission of various signals.

Předmětem řešení projektu je vytvoření nástrojů programového a elektronického vybavení pro určení typu šifrované komunikace, její následné dekódování a vyvinutí nových metod a nástrojů pro odhalování a vyšetřování případů kybernetické kriminality a ochrany informačních systémů před kybernetickými hrozbami.

–MVČR

Equipment:

• rtl-sdr sticks
• bladeRF with USB3
• Several computers to provide reasonable DSP power
• Aim to build distributed receiving cluster. Currently radios in brmlab, on brmlab rooftop and at Jenda's rooftop are available.
• Various antennas (HF, discone, 2m and 70cm Yagi, 2m and 70cm dipole)
• Satellite card and dish
• CB and PMR walkie-talkies
• advice related to Baofeng UV-5R radio

Ongoing activities:

• GnuRadio advice
• FM radio :)
• GSM
• Tetra

• pagers, planes…
• NOAA weather satellites
• hunting for falling radio sondes
• Microphone eavesdropping
• FCL, a fast spectrum channelizer
• Kukuruku, an interactive SDR client
• Trains

Wanted topics:
