Turning a Wi-Fi Adapter into an SDR
Since the discovery of an undocumented I/Q sampling feature in ESP32 chips about two weeks ago, there’s been a flood of similar features being found in other wireless chips, including LoRa and Wi-Fi chipsets. The latest chip to join their ranks is the MediaTek MT7921AU, often used in Wi-Fi adapters, with two different projects developing independent SDR drivers for it in the last few days. The first was BirriaSDR , which discovered that the chip exposes raw I/Q samples for debugging and calibrat
