Abstract:
Software-defined radios (SDRs) are communication receivers and
transmitters where some part of the signal processing work has been
moved from the analog realm, running on specialized hardware, to the
digital realm, where the signal processing is done on general-purpose
hardware interfaced to general-purpose computers. Martin O’Shield and
Shyu Lee will describe the background and motivation for SDR, its
history, the variety of solutions, the current business and technical
landscape, and their own work in designing, manufacturing, and
promoting software-defined radios and systems. They will display one
of their SDR systems and - maybe - demonstrate it actually working!
