Abstract
A cognitive radio is a radio with built-in intelligence that makes it able to utilize the radio frequency spectrum more efficiently by adapting to the changing conditions and frequency availability. In this thesis a spectrum sensor radio is designed that detects transmissions in FM band and determine the range of used and unused frequencies within the band. The radio then starts a transmission on a frequency among the available frequencies. This intelligent radio system design is implemented using the Universal Software Radio Peripheral and GNU Radio with a program written in python that uses a number of GNU Radio modules along with other python and C-Shell scripts giving a working baseline structure of a cognitive radio.
