    This document describes the design and implementation of a software-defined radio transmitter. It shows the traditional hardware-based transmitter design and compares it to the more flexible software-defined radio approach. Key aspects covered include modulation, sample rates and interpolation to shift the signal to the desired radio frequency for transmission. An example narrowband FM transmitter design is presented to demonstrate the concepts.
