Signals in the Aether : A Hands-On Guide to Software Defined Radio-From Hacking Garage Doors to Bouncing Waves Off the Moon

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unlock the Invisible Ocean of Data Flowing Right Through You. For most of human history, the radio spectrum was a locked box, accessible only to governments, military engineers, and hobbyists with thousands of dollars of specialized equipment. That world is dead. Today, a thirty-dollar USB dongle and a piece of wire are all you need to turn your computer into a master key for the electromagnetic spectrum. In Signals in the Aether, David Maiolo takes you on a thrilling, hands-on journey into the world of Software Defined Radio (SDR). Ditching dry, math-heavy textbooks, this guide is built on a simple philosophy: Try It, Visualize It, Understand It. You won't just read about radio waves-you will intercept, decode, and visualize them in real time on your screen. Whether you are a seasoned maker, a cybersecurity enthusiast, or a curious tinkerer, this book provides the ultimate map to the invisible world. You will learn how to: - Eavesdrop on the Internet of Things: Capture and decode unencrypted signals from car key fobs, garage doors, smart utility meters, and neighborhood weather stations.- Track Global Traffic: Build a simple 'spider' antenna to map live commercial aircraft (ADS-B) and marine vessels (AIS) from hundreds of miles away.- Steal Pictures from Space: Intercept passing NOAA weather satellites to download live, full-color weather maps of your continent, and catch commemorative images beamed down from the International Space Station.- Understand the Digital Battlefield: Visualize the chaotic 2.4 GHz band and see exactly how Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and your kitchen microwave fight for dominance.- Push the Limits of Physics: Explore the extreme edges of the hobby, from bouncing signals off the moon (EME) to building a backyard radio telescope to hear the 13.8-billion-year-old echo of the Big Bang.Complete with antenna-building tutorials, software configuration guides (for SDR#, GQRX, and SDR++), and a primer on getting your Ham Radio license so you can legally transmit, Signals in the Aether is your complete toolkit. Grab your copy today, plug in your SDR, and start decoding the invisible world! Artikel-Nr. 9798190090277
