# GNU Radio
**GNU Radio** is a [free software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software "Free software") development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement [software-defined radios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio "Software-defined radio") and [signal processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_processing "Signal processing") systems. It can be used with external [radio frequency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency "Radio frequency") (RF) hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic, and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

The GNU Radio software provides the framework and tools to build and run software radio or just general signal-processing applications. The GNU Radio applications themselves are generally known as "flowgraphs", which are a series of signal processing blocks connected together, thus describing a data flow.- via [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Radio)
