Abstract
Recent progress in the device fabrication technologies and
computational performance of digital signal processing devices
is making SDR a realistic approach. The essence of SDR is
replicating the radio system functions, which are conventionally
constructed by specialized mono-functional circuits, with
software and programmable digital processing devices such
as MPU or FPGA, which makes a single wireless architecture
programmable. Because of this programmability, a system can
possess multi-operation capability in system, protocol, media,
frequency band, and tasks. It can also be adaptable to conditions
on transmission, resource management, traffic, and software
up-grades. In this workshop, distinguished speakers will present
the broadband RF front-end and advanced digital signal processing
technologies, APIs and software architecture, Over-The-Air
download and dynamic reconfiguration techniques, and an SDR
basestation implementation. Also included will be discussions
on standardization and regulatory issues. The workshop will
provide an overview as well as a look at advanced topics in
SDR technology.
