Search for it ↗

A free Analog Devices course introducing software defined radio for engineers, hosted in the Analog Devices education library. It assumes an electrical engineering background, with fundamentals recommended first.

Commenters call it a great resource for learning SDR and note it assumes an EE background, so it suits engineers who already have the fundamentals.

    I've got some good free resource recommendations if you want:

    https://wiki.analog.com/university/courses/electronics/text/... - An excellent free "Intro to Electronics" course from Analog. In fact, all of the courses on their website are pretty good, I would say comparable to what you would get at a university minus the TA support when things don't work. But /r/ECE or Stack Overflow can probably help if you ever end up really stuck.

    https://www.analog.com/en/education/education-library/softwa... - Another from Analog, it's a great resource for learning SDR. It assumes you're coming from an EE background though, so it would be helpful to do the fundamentals first.

    http://freerangefactory.org/pdf/df344hdh4h8kjfh3500ft2/free_... - Free Range VHDL is what my FPGA class used, and it's free!

    I would also suggest playing with some ECAD software like DipTrace or KiCAD. It's generally not part of a normal EE curriculum, but really should be! Being able to draw a schematic or lay out a circuit board will be useful if you have any advanced projects you want to try at home. Especially with cheap fabs like OshPark it's a good skill to have.
