ESA SDR MakerSpace
online technical briefing

Swiss Radio Amateurs traditionally participate in the ESA (European Space Agency) ARTES MakerSpace project that investigates satellite communications and Software Defined Radio (SDR) (ARTES = Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems).

The Institute of Reconfigurable & Embedded Digital Systems (REDS) of the Haute Ecole d’Ingénierie et de Gestion du Canton de Vaud – HEIG-VD (Switzerland) and Libre Space Foundation (Greece) have been implementing a number of smaller projects as part of a Software Defined Radio MakerSpace of the European Space Agency.
This activity is part of the ARTES programme of ESA that supports innovation in satellite communications.
The findings will be presented in three 2-hour slots in the afternoon at 15:00 CEST on Mon 6, Tue 7 and Wed 8 September 2021.

Monday 6 Sep will be focused on the evaluation of various SDR boards and FPGA tools chains. High-rate direct sampling by SDR’s and SDR on Android will also be presented.
Tuesday 7 Sep will be dedicated to building blocks that have been implemented as open source developments for GNU Radio, such as gr-leo, gr-ccsds, gr-soapy etc.
Wednesday 8 Sep is mainly about the combination of SDR and AI/ML to do signal detection and classification. In addition, an SDR testbed and spectrum monitoring will be presented.

Registration to all three Webinars see here:.
The presentations will take place via WEBEX, for which a link will be sent to you after your registration.
Note: Please register separately for each presentation slot.

The organizers are: Pierros Papadeas (Libre Space Foundation), Alberto Dassatti (HEIG-VD), Frank Zeppenfeldt (ESA).
