SUMMARY:September Speaking Event
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row column_spacing=”50″ el_class=”wpex-mt-50″][vc_column width=”1/2″]Software-Defined Radio: Inside SDR Receivers and Technology[vc_column_text css=”” bottom_margin=”40px”]\nPresented by John Staples\nSaturday\, September 12\, 2026 | 1:30-2:30 PM- Meet and greet starts at 1:00 PM\nCalifornia Historical Radio Society – Radio Central \nJoin the California Historical Radio Society for an in-depth technical presentation on Software-Defined Radio (SDR)with John Staples. \nSoftware-defined radio represents a fundamental shift in how radio signals can be received\, processed\, and analyzed\, replacing many functions traditionally performed by dedicated analog hardware with flexible digital processing. \nIn this technical presentation\, John will take us inside the circuitry and technology that make SDR receivers work. He will analyze receiver circuits\, explore the mathematics behind their operation\, and demonstrate how signals move from the antenna through the receiver and into the digital domain. \nThe program will include live demonstrations of at least four different SDR hardware and software configurations\, using real RF signals received through CHRS’s antenna system. Attendees will have an opportunity to see and compare different approaches to software-defined radio in real time. \nTopics will include: \n\nSDR receiver architecture and signal flow\nThe circuitry behind SDR receivers\nAnalog-to-digital conversion and digital signal processing\nThe mathematics underlying SDR operation\nSDR hardware and software configurations\nLive reception and analysis of radio signals\nAdvantages\, limitations\, and capabilities of software-defined receivers\n\nThis presentation is designed for a technically oriented audience and will go beyond a basic introduction to SDR. Radio amateurs\, engineers\, electronics enthusiasts\, experimenters\, and anyone interested in understanding how modern radio receivers actually work are especially encouraged to attend. \n  \nJohn Staples:  W6BM\, received his first phone and extra class licenses in 1958. He is a semi-retired scientist who worked at the Lawrence Berkeley Radiation Lab. \n\n\n\n\n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Register[vc_column_text css=”” bottom_margin=”40px”]Tickets are $10 for non-members and free for members.
