Overview
Software-defined radio
A programmable radio for the RF front end, baseband, and the external data or control interface. It fits work where the link is still being defined and a measurable prototype comes before a production specification.
Technical points
- RF, baseband, and the external interface can be discussed separately, then placed on one platform where that helps.
- A prototype phase can include instrument measurements and a check of the data path.
- If timing affects the link, it is written into the approach rather than added later.
When it fits
Existing equipment needs an adjustable RF or data link, and the first deliverable should be a prototype that can be verified rather than a locked production specification.
How the pieces connect
- Host or controller
- SDR
- RF front end
- Far-end equipment
