Software Defined Radio: Past, Present and Future
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) project was launched. The vision was to design a single platform that can support multiple standards or waveforms in the DoD parlance. The goal was to have only one H/W platform with the minimum support infrastructure that can accommodate different standards. A tremendous works has been made in both the DoD and later the commercial world. The SDR has morphed into Cognitive Radio (CR) where a single radio can be defined to support different standards and operate at different spectrum bands. The current trend is using Machine Learning (CR) to perform the radio functions.
A key ingredient to all this, was the advances of digital technology. Before 1990, most of wireless communication systems were analog. This included RF as well as the baseband processing. As digital technology became available and capable, most of the wireless communication functions such as source coding, channel coding, filtering, digital modulation, and error coding have been ported into the digital domain. In addition, most of the RF section has been replaced by using high speed ADCs and DACs. This has ushed a period where communication systems have evolved from providing just voice to video and wideband data services.
This talk will cover the journey of SDR by highlighting where it was where it is now and where it will be going in the future. Real life examples will be provided to highlight the key milestones.
