Software-Defined Radio: High Performance, Flexible Technology for Spectrum Monitoring

摘要

The factors to consider when choosing an SDR solution include frequency of operation, number of independent channels, RF bandwidth, digital back-haul and the availability of pre-config-ured storage and playback options. The solution must be flexible and adaptable to accommodate new and emerging technologies, including the ability to tune into desired frequency bands and adjust the bandwidth to suit the application. Having multiple channels enables data to be captured at different frequencies or time intervals. Connecting a radio and a recording and playback system for spectrum monitoring can be daunting. To avoid implementation delays and performance issues-dropped packets or configuration challenges-working with a company offering a complete solution can reduce the time to implement a system and minimize risks to the project.
