RTL-SDR (Software Defined Radio using Realtek RTL2832U) is a popular and affordable tool for receiving and processing a wide range of radio frequencies. The RF receiver relies on an inexpensive DVB-T dongle based on the Realtek RTL2832U chipset (that supports a USB interface) for receiving wideband RF trace data. As a wideband RF receiver that spans the frequency range of 24-1766 MHz, the device has many applications when combined with supporting software.
