Abstract
The current stage in the development of very high frequency (VHF) radio receiving equipment is the widespread introduction of Software-defined radio (SDR) platforms. Such devices allow software control of operating radio frequency parameters of the radio channel, providing both versatility and solutions to the problems of specific radio information systems. The operation of VHF SDR takes place in a complex electromagnetic environment with a lot of in-band and out-of-band interference, and a noticeable level of the radio background, the level of which in industrial areas is several times higher than the intrinsic noise of the radio receiving path. The paper discusses the problems and modern approaches to improve the quality of reception in VHF SDR. In addition, we provide recent developments of VHF SDR in different scenarios and results in some specific applications. The results show promise and practical uses in various fields for communication purposes.
