CubicSDR

Cross-Platform Software-Defined Radio Application

Utilizes:

• liquid-dsp (http://liquidsdr.org/ https://github.com/jgaeddert/liquid-dsp)
• FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/ https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3)
• RtAudio (http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/ http://github.com/thestk/rtaudio/)
• Osmocom RTLSDR (http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr)
• LodePNG (http://lodev.org/lodepng/)
• BMFont (http://www.angelcode.com/ http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/)
• Bitstream Vera font (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Vera)
• OpenGL (https://www.opengl.org/)
• wxWidgets (https://www.wxwidgets.org/)
• CMake (http://www.cmake.org/)

Basic Goals:

• Simple UI
• Minimal configuration
• Neat Visuals
• LSB / USB / AM / FM / WFM / WBFM stereo demodulation
• Multiple demodulators per IQ stream
• Separate visualizations per demodulator
• Frequency locked/floating demodulators
• IQ Recording and playback
• Audio Recording

Advanced Goals:

• Basic demodulator filter(s) that can be enabled and tweaked visually
• Support multiple simultaneous device usage
  • Categorize devices by antenna connections
  • Allow locked frequencies to activate unused devices to continue demodulation on same antenna
• Implement digital demodulation supported by liquid-dsp: (http://liquidsdr.org/doc/modem.html)
  • PSK, DPSK, ASK, QAM, APSK, BPSK, QPSK, OOK, SQAM, Star Modem(?)
• Integrate LUA
  • Expose liquid-dsp functionality
  • Scriptable liquid-dsp demodulation
  • Scriptable digital demodulation output handlers
    • Create block output devices on *nix?
    • Create socket outputs?
    • Visual outputs?
  • Take control of additional devices and spawning new demodulators (i.e. trunkers)
  • Script manager / live editor
  • Provide scriptable liquid-dsp modulation for trancievers?

Target Platforms:

• OSX
• Windows
• Linux
