Developing and integrating a computer-based AM/FM radio station

Abstract

This article presents the development of a personal computer based AM/FM radio station operating on the AM/FM commercial band. Developing the graphical user interface for the software and the interconnection with an RF function generator by means of a GPIB is presented. Computer users can enter the desired transmission frequency within the commercial band as well as the transmission potency.
