Abstract

Flexible radio testbeds are being designed using the Berkeley Emulation Engine (BEE2) platform. Narrow-band and wide-band platforms are discussed which can accommodate a full spectrum of wireless multiple radios for wide and narrowband applications. The BEE2 programming and debugging capabilities, using Simulink and Linux augmented with the BORPH operating system, provide a high level design environment. Applications are discussed which portray the flexibility of these testbeds and the ability to demonstrate realistic scenarios, as well as comprehensively evaluate and verify theoretical results.
