Peraton Labs is a proud sponsor of the GNU Radio Conference (GRCon), taking place September 26-30, 2022, in Washington, DC. GRCon 2022 is the annual conference for the GNU Radio project and one of the premier industry events for software radio. GNU Radio is a free, open-source software development toolkit. It provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios and is widely used in research, industry, academia, and government to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

GRCon offers high-quality tutorials, workshops, papers and talks, which address the full range of software radio technology – from theory, design, and implementation to sophisticated and useful applications of the technology in diverse areas. Over the course of the conference, Peraton Labs' researchers are presenting two workshops and multiple talks.

• Debugging GNU Radio Blocks. Josh Morman shows how to troubleshoot GNU radio blocks using debugging tools and built-in logging mechanisms, and also how to use Visual Studio Code for source level debugging.
• Open-Source Large Scale Radio Frequency Machine Learning Datasets, Toolkit, and Models. Luke Boegner introduces the Sig53 dataset and the open-source TorchSig toolkit, and shares competitive baseline performance for the task of narrowband signal classification using Sig53.
• GR and FPGA. In this breakout session, Josh Morman discusses how GNU Radio can better integrate and co-exist with generic hardware, including RFSoC and open source toolchains, to provide more standardized and portable solutions.
  
• TorchSig: An open-source signals processing machine learning toolkit. Garrett Vanhoy presents a full-length workshop on TorchSig, our newly-introduced RF machine learning toolkit, including installation, dataset generation, data augmentation pipelines, and training scripts using the Sig53 dataset.
  
• GR 4.0 Tutorial. In this workshop, Josh Morman explores the new features of GNU Radio 4.0 in a hands-on manner, including the development methodology, workflows, and the process to port a module/block from GR3.X to 4.0.
• Inference as DSP: An Approach to Heterogeneous Compute-Enabled SDR Applications. Garrett Vanhoy introduces a novel GNU Radio out-of-tree module that integrates with Triton Inference Server (TIS) to enable highly-scalable SDR (software defined radio) application development backed by heterogenous compute platforms.
