Software Defined Radio Principle of Communication Engineering consising of SDR Hardware (350 MHz to 3.5GHz) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CE-12499

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Software Defined Radio (SDR) Trainer for Principles of Communication Engineering (Product ID: 12499), part of the Communication Equipment range under Laboratory equipment, a combined software-and-hardware platform that introduces students to modern communication engineering using a real SDR radio front end (350 MHz–3.5 GHz) with an embedded Linux computer running the GNU Radio ecosystem.

Quick Answer

This trainer combines a wideband RF front end with a built-in embedded computer on a Linux platform running GNU Radio, so telecommunication block diagrams and equations can be built and run as real, live radio experiments rather than pure simulations. It supports an open-ended, drag-and-drop modelling workflow using GNU Radio's function-block library, and ships with a large sample tutorial list covering analog communication, digital communication and modulation/demodulation techniques with on-board bit error rate (BER) measurement.

Key Features

Built-in embedded computer on a Linux platform running the GNU Radio ecosystem · true real-time hardware experimentation alongside software modelling · open-ended block-diagram modelling using GNU Radio's function blocks · wideband RF agile transceiver tunable from 350 MHz to 3.5 GHz · FPGA-based signal processing · large sample tutorial list spanning analog and digital communication techniques · on-board bit error rate (BER) measurement.

GNU Radio Functional Block Categories

The system is built around GNU Radio's function-block library, giving students access to blocks across categories including Audio, Control Port, Coding, Channelizers, Channel Models, Byte Operators, Boolean Operators, Debug Tools, GUI Widgets, Fourier Analysis, Filters, File Operators, Error Coding, FCD, Equalizers, Digital Television, Impairment Models, Instrumentation, Level Controllers, Message Tools, Measurement Tools, Math Operators, Modulators, NOAA, Resamplers, Pager, Peak Detectors, Packet Operators, Networking Tools, OFDM, Stream Operators, Stream Tag Tools, Symbol Coding, Synchronizers, Trellis Coding, Type Converter, UHD, Variables, Video, Waveform Generators, ZeroMQ Interfaces, Industrial IO, Inspector and Mapper, among others — letting professors and students assemble their own telecommunication models rather than being limited to fixed pre-built experiments.

Manufacturer-stated note: due to the memory and processing-speed limits of the embedded system, complex models run at high speed may not always give the expected result — this is disclosed here as stated by the manufacturer rather than independently verified.

Where This Is Used

This Software Defined Radio Trainer is used in electronics and communication engineering education to teach analog and digital modulation techniques on real RF hardware rather than simulation alone, complementing our broader Electronics Lab Equipment and Engineering Lab Equipment ranges.

Why Buy from Indian Lab Suppliers

Indian Lab Suppliers is an India-based laboratory equipment manufacturer and exporter supplying this Software Defined Radio Trainer alongside its broader Communication Equipment catalog, with documentation such as a Certificate of Origin available on request for institutional and export orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a simulation-only system, or does it use real RF hardware?
It uses real RF hardware — a wideband transceiver tunable from 350 MHz to 3.5 GHz with an embedded Linux computer — alongside GNU Radio software, so experiments run as live, real-time hardware demonstrations rather than pure simulations.

What modulation techniques can be studied on this system?
Analog techniques (AM, DSBSC, SSBSC, FM, PAM) and digital techniques (ASK, FSK, BPSK, QPSK, DPSK, DQAM, OFDM, DSSS and GMSK), each with generation and demodulation experiments, plus bit error rate measurement for several digital schemes.

Do you supply this equipment for institutional or export orders outside India?
Yes. Indian Lab Suppliers quotes equipment for institutional and tender buyers across export markets — see the Tenders page for documentation requirements.
