Welcome to the main wiki of the RALF(RAdio LOgicielle pour la Formation) project. You will find below a brief description of the project, few notes on its organization and general documentation on hardware/software tools. As explained below in details, this forge allows per-project spaces providing various services such as ticket management, source versioning (Git), wiki, forums, full backups and total web-based administration... Do not hesitate to contribute !

The project _RAdio Logicielle pour la Formation_ (RALF) has been carried out by the University of Toulouse/ISAE(Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace) in order to promote Software Defined Radio (SDR) techniques into several engineering trainings. First of all, one can define a SDR transceiver as a generic hardware device (typically wideband with high sampling rate) where all application-related signal processing is performed in the digital domain thanks to a host computer or an embedded controller. It results in a highly flexible architecture, generally made of high-level software building blocks allowing to move from an application/standard to an other within a tenth of second.

In an educational point of view, SDR offers several advantages:
14 3 ROQUE, Damien
* cross-curricular approach involving digital communications, beamforming, computer science, networks, radio frequency electronics, embedded electronics;
15 3 ROQUE, Damien
* fully functional applications based on well-known standards and presented with an appropriate abstraction level;
16 5 ROQUE, Damien
* possible connection with research topic (from a simulator to a demonstrator);
17 1 ROQUE, Damien
* source code oriented project management, more and more used in the industry (e.g. agile, eXtreme programming).
