Question: Could today's SDR (Software Defined Radio) -- be used to implement all/part of yesterday's wired Ethernet, like 1990's 802.3i 10BASE-T: 10 Mbit/s (1.25 MB/s) over twisted pair, or if not that, then something earlier, like 1983's 10BASE5: 10 Mbit/s (1.25 MB/s) over thick coax?
I'm talking about connecting the SDR RF output -- directly to the twisted pair or thick coax.
Yes, you'd need to additionally understand how Ethernet encodes data over the underlying signal, but could SDR be used to implement the underlying signal?
Why or why not would this work?
If it would, then what are some additional things to be aware of?
