Reproducibility Checklist

This checklist helps students and contributors reproduce SDR experiments consistently.

Before running experiments

• Verify sample-rate configuration.
• Verify RF center frequency.
• Verify gain settings.
• Verify clock source assumptions.
• Record software and firmware versions.

During recording

Store:

• IQ format;
• sample rate;
• timestamp;
• RF bandwidth;
• capture duration;
• hardware configuration.

During analysis

Document:

• FFT parameters;
• synchronization configuration;
• filtering assumptions;
• BER/EVM calculation method.

Recommended artifacts

Artifact	Purpose
capture metadata	experiment traceability
screenshots	visual verification
FFT plots	spectral validation
constellation plots	synchronization quality
BER/EVM reports	quantitative validation

Educational objective

Students should learn not only how to run SDR experiments, but also how to make them reproducible and reviewable.
