#Reference Materials#
  
* [Software Communications Architecture (SCA)](http://sca.jpeojtrs.mil/) open standard for software defined radio 
* Bard, John and Vincent J. Kovarik, Jr., [Software Defined Radio: The Software Communications Architecture](http://www.amazon.com/Software-Defined-Radio-Communications-Architecture/sim/0470865180/2), Wiley, 2007.

#Software#
  
##[GNU Radio Open source SDR](http://gnuradio.org)##
* [GNU Radio](http://gnuradio.org) includes the GNU Radio Companion (GRC), a graphical interface  
* [Simple User Guide](http://www.csun.edu/~skatz/katzpage/sdr_project/sdr/Simple-Gnuradio-User-Manual-v1.0.pdf) for GNU Radio version 3.1.1  

##[Open Source SCA Implementation::Embedded (OSSIE) SDR software based on the Software Communications Architecture (SCA)](http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu)##
* [OSSIE](http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu) includes GUI-based rapid prototyping tools for developing waveform applications and signal processing components.  
* Follow "[Get Started](http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu/?q=node/7)" link to user guide, labs (see below), source code, live DVDs, and VMware images.  
  
#SDR Lab Exercises#
* [OSSIE labs](http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu/download/labs/):  These self-paced labs introduce SDR and SCA concepts through use of the OSSIE framework and rapid development tools.  Students learn to develop signal processing components and waveform applications including an AM receiver that uses the Ettus Research USRP (USRP-1).  Distributed waveforms are also introduced.  
* [GNU Radio labs](http://www.nd.edu/~jnl/sdr/docs/) from the RadioWare project at Notre Dame  
  
#Proposed SDR Oriented Curriculum#
  
* From Dave Murotake, SCA Technica
