Since GNURadio is written in Python, it is only reasonable to write the additional code in Python to ensuremaximum compatibility.There are numerous benefits to implementing a transceiver that uses SDR. The first benefit isthat filters that would be impractical or impossible to implement in a hardware system can nowbe easily implemented with SDR at the expense of some processing power.

authorsbelieve that students must understand how to solve a system of equations, it is impossible,nevertheless, to expect them to know exactly how all programs they will use are coded. Animportant element of a student’s education must include a reflex suspicion of program resultsand an understanding of the need and the ways and means to check results with alternativemethods. This is what is expected when a student graduates and becomes a professionalengineer in industry. Why not expect the student to be a professional engineer during theiracademic career?
