This paper is an attempt to reveal the untapped immense power of the GNU Radio - an open source software, in control and monitoring systems, both real time applications and class-room demonstrations. GNU Radio has already gained wide acceptance and glory in communication and signal processing. As a novel attempt to bring the controlling capability of GNU Radio to limelight, an experiment for temperature control, out of its innumerable applications, and the possibility of a revolution by this free open source software is predicted and explained through this paper. This paper describes the hardware and software requirements for the temperature control experiment with SBHS (Single Board Heater System) using GNU Radio and describes the recommended classroom demonstration.

Compressed sensing helps in the reconstruction of sparse or compressible signals from small number of measurements. The sparse representation has great importance in modern signal processing. The main objective is to provide a strong understanding of the concept behind the theory of compressed sensing by using the key ideas from linear algebra. In this paper, the concept of compressed sensing is explained through an experiment formulated based on linear programming and solved using l1 magic and One bit compressed sensing methods in Excel.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the leading technology that is ruling the communication field. But unfortunately, it is shrouded in mystery. A good knowledge in Linear Algebra is required to appreciate the technology in a better way. So the work focuses on explaining OFDM system from linear algebra point of view. Also, OFDM model communication system is simulated using Excel which makes ease for anyone experiment with OFDM and understand the underlying principle. The paper aims to provide strong foundation on the concept behind OFDM without the need of having much knowledge in electronics field. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
