[Technology Exhibit] Introduction of the Software Defined Radio (SDR) based Prototyping

摘要

We are developing a wireless prototyping platform to accelerate construction of experimental wireless communication equipment, such as radio transmitters (Tx) or receivers (Rx). The platform is composed of general-purpose SDR hardware and digital signal processing (DSP) programs written in MATLAB. Researchers can transmit or receive various types of signals by modifying the DSP programs, without skills to develop hardware equipment, if they have knowledge of DSP in the wireless communication area. Additionally, this approach may drastically reduce prototyping costs and efforts by using pre-built hardware and software libraries which may help researchers' programming work.
