Abstract: 

Have you ever wanted to build a magic receiver that can get images from weather satellites, decode ship and airplane position messages, tune to your favorite FM station, and even navigate by GPS?  All of this is possible today using a $50 USB dongle and a laptop running software defined radio (SDR) code.  This talk will cover the basics of SDR – from getting an analog signal into a computer to the wide range of frameworks and tools available to process the signal.  We will briefly discuss radios that can process gigabits and gigahertz of data, and tiny SDRs that can run off batteries.  Software being the key part of SDR, we will discuss the challenges of executing real-time signal processing at high rates on COTS servers.  Finally, we will touch on the evolution of SDRs as applied to 5G, ground stations, and how it all ends up in the ‘cloud.’

Topic:

From Bits to Gigabits, Using Software Defined Radio

Dr. Eugene Grayver is a Principal Engineer in the Digital Communications Implementation Division at The Aerospace Corporation.

 

 

Biography:

Eugene Grayver received his B.S from Caltech and a Ph.D. from UCLA, both in electrical engineering.  In 2000, he was one of the founders of a semiconductor company working on low-power ASICs for multi-antenna 3G mobile receivers.  In 2003, Eugene joined The Aerospace Corporation, where he is currently doing research into application of software defined radio (SDR) to a wide range of problems.  Key aspects of his research include: reliable and resilient communications, navigation using GPS and fallback options when GPS is not available, flexible and upgradable processing for massively multi-user systems. His areas of expertise span from radio-frequency front ends to digital signal processing and up to the network connectivity.  This research has led to hardware implementations of devices that support data rates from below 100 bps to 10 Gbps.  He published a well-received book on SDR, multiple journal publications, and dozens of conference papers. Every year he chairs a session on software defined radio at an international IEEE conference.  Eugene is a senior member of IEEE.
