This kit guides you through building a complete software-defined radio transmitter chain using an ESP32's I2S peripheral to generate an AM modulated carrier, with an RTL-SDR dongle on your PC receiving and demodulating the signal. Perfect for final-year engineering projects, amateur radio experimentation, or understanding the core principles of SDR from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact AM radio transmitter that converts digital audio into an analog AM modulated signal using the ESP32's I2S DAC and a precision RF lowpass filter. You'll assemble the entire signal chain on prototype boards, enclose it in a durable ABS case, and then verify your transmission using an RTL-SDR dongle and free software on your PC. The result is a fully operational software-defined transmitter that demonstrates key concepts in digital signal processing and RF engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenerating AM modulated carriers using I2S and a PCM5102A DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigning and building an analog front-end with LM358 op-amps for signal conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFiltering harmonics with a passive RF lowpass filter for clean transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVerifying your transmitter using RTL-SDR and GNU Radio or SDR# software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESP32 Dev Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI2S DAC PCM5102A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLM358 Op-Amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRF Lowpass Filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50?
