Software Defined Radio Enabling Technologies. This paper discusses the design considerations related to the transceiver hardware elements within a software defined radio SDR. The survey paper identifies the enabling technologies and research areas in radio frequency engineering that may facilitate the development of Software Defined Radios SDR.
Software defined radio SDR is one of the most important topics of research and indeed development in the area of mobile and personal communications. SDR is viewed as an enabler of global roaming and as a unique platform for the rapid introduction of new services. Software-defined and cognitive radio are important emerging technologies in wireless communications 48In a software-defined radio SDR some of the radio functions typically implemented in hardware are converted into software 69.
We review frequently used terminology such as softwarization virtualization and orchestration and how these concepts apply to wireless networks.
Software Defined Radio - Rate of Adoption. Software defined radio SDR technology brings the flexibility cost efficiency and power to drive communications forward with wide-reaching benefits realized by service providers and product developers through to end users. A novel technique for mixer linearisation is presented as a potentially enabling element within a re-configurable transceiver and. SDR is viewed as an enabler of global roaming and as a unique platform for the rapid introduction of new services into existing live networks.
