Top 7 GNU Radio Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

1. SoapySDR

SoapySDR SoapySDR is an open-source generalized C/C++ API and runtime library for interfacing with SDR devices. With SoapySDR, you can instantiate, configure, and stream with an SDR device in a variety of environments. Both osmosdr and uhd devices are available within SoapySDR. In addition, vendors can directly support their hardware using......

inspectrum inspectrum is a tool for analysing captured signals, primarily from software-defined radio receivers.......

3. LuaRadio

LuaRadio LuaRadio is a lightweight, embeddable flow graph signal processing framework for software-defined radio. It provides a suite of source, sink, and processing blocks, with a simple API for defining flow graphs, running flow graphs, creating blocks, and creating data types. LuaRadio is built on LuaJIT, has a small binary footprint......

4. libdwt

libdwt A software library for computation of the discrete wavelet transform that is primarily implemented in C/C++ language and as well in other languages intended for target platforms (assembly languages). The library is designed for PC platform (basic and optimized implementation), embedded processor platform, and for hardware implementation (FPGA) and combined......
