AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus
SDRPlusPlus
SDRPlusPlus is a cross-platform software-defined radio suite used for capturing, processing, and visualizing radio frequency signals. It functions as a multi-frequency radio receiver and spectrum analyzer, providing a unified hardware interface to connect various radio devices.
The project employs a modular signal processing framework that allows for the integration of custom plugins and the loading of external compiled modules. This architecture supports a multi-oscillator virtual tuning system, enabling the simultaneous monitoring of different frequency bands within a single hardware stream.
The system covers a broad range of capabilities including real-time spectrum visualization via waterfall plots, automatic frequency scanning, and digital signal decoding for voice and data. It also manages signal output routing to system audio and network sinks, alongside tools for frequency tracking and signal data recording.
