Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] "gnuradio challenges" (for learning GNU Radio)

[Jean-Michel FRIEDT]

if there can be any interest, I try to gradually go from basics (using
GNU Radio to introduce such topics as decimating, aliasing and the need
for low pass filtering) to more applied topics (of course FM radio  
demodulation,
then POCSAG) and BPSK demodulation (Costas loop) and finally multichannel
analysis (Xlating FIR) in my lab sessions at
http://jmfriedt.free.fr/tp_sdr_eng.pdf
(or for the French speaking part of Belgium,  
http://jmfriedt.free.fr/tp_sdr.pdf)

More challenging signal demodulations such as GPS and RDS are discussed
separately (eg http://jmfriedt.free.fr/lm_rds_eng.pdf &
http://jmfriedt.free.fr/sdr_gps_eng.pdf)
