The ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module (PlutoSDR) is an easy to use tool available from Analog Devices Inc. ( ADI ) that can be used to introduce fundamentals of Software Defined Radio (SDR) or Radio Frequency (RF) or Communications as advanced topics in electrical engineering in a self or instructor lead setting. The PlutoSDR allows students to better understand the real-world RF around them, and is applicable for all students, at all levels, from all backgrounds. Early learning in a hands-on manner with the PlutoSDR will ensure a solid foundation for students to build on, as they pursue science, technology, or engineering degrees.

The PlutoSDR Active Learning Module is a tool that closes the relationship between theory and practical radio frequency activities of the user. It provides a personal portable lab that, when used with a host, can augment the learning that takes place in the classroom. A variety of software packages such as MATLAB or Simulink provide an innovative graphical user interface ( GUI ), allowing intuitive usage and minimizing the learning curve, enabling students to learn faster, work smarter, and explore more!

The ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module is a learning tool for everyone.
