HackRF/Zigbee

Summary

Project summary: In this project, I use a HackRF to communicate with a ZIgbee radio, using the HackRF to transmit and receive, and using Gnuradio to modulate/demodulate.

A report on the use of Gnuradio to modulate/demodulate and implement 802.15: http://wiesel.ece.utah.edu/media/documents/pdf/2010/03/25/thomas_project_report.pdf

Roadmap

The broad steps involved in the project are:

• zigbees
  • Sending and receiving 802.15 signals with the zigbee hardware
• hackrf receiving
  • Seeing 802.15 signals with the HackRF
  • pulling the signals into Gnuradio for demodulation and processing (possibly using Python)
• hackrf transmitting
  • figuring out how to transmit signals with the hackrf
• figuring out how to modulate signals via 802.11 protocol
• transmit to zigbee receiver

Zigbees

To begin with, the zigbees had to be properly transmitting/receiving.
