SDR technology for high capacity and interoperable BMS systems

Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is an innovative paradigm to manage wireless communications, where the main radio parameters (RF bandwidth, modulation scheme, channel coding, etc) are completely defined in software and can be redefined by new software load. In a SW Defined Radio (SDR) each communication will be performed by executing on the same platform the relevant SW application (waveform), not depending on the HW implementation. This allows a single SDR system to support several communications that are provided today by different dedicated systems. SDR technology is comprised of both software and hardware. The Main components of the SDR software are the waveform applications. A waveform application is the implementation of a communications specification/standard (e.g. SINCGARS VHF, SATURN). A waveform specification includes all the characteristics of that waveform that describe its RF emission and technical interoperability parameters.
