In order to design a system to record and analyze radio transmissions in the HF band, the team will use a software-defined radio in conjunction with GNU Radio to develop a modular and automated program to identify and characterize interesting signals and record pertinent information in real time. The team will build out a robust signal processing flow in GNU Radio to help classify and correlate signals coming from the same transmitter.
