Abstract :
Modern communication systems comprise a variety of formats, protocols, and frequency ranges. Software defined radio (SDR) technology addresses these formats with the idea that a single platform can be reprogrammed to process a variety of waveforms. The SDR Forum and the IEEE have defined SDR as a radio in which some or all of the physical layer functions are defined in software [1].
