Modern Radios: 5G and SDR Emerging Trends
This tak discusses the architecture of Modern Radios and SDR trends. Current radios utilize 4th generation SDR (Software Defined Radio) technologies in which components/modules that have been typically implemented in hardware are replaced by software on an embedded computing device. In all previous generations, there was a single dominating technology, i.e., Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) for 1G, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) for 2G, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) for 3G, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for 4G.
However to meet the ever increasing demand of higher peak data rate, more capacity, better cost efficiency, high reliability, long battery lifetimes, low response times (latency), and Internet of Things (IoT) call for 5th generation communication networks (5G). It is anticipated that IoT will lead to millions of devices “talk” to each other, including machine to machine (M2M), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or more general x-2-y use cases. Researchers are investigating various technologies for 5G networks but no clear dominating technology has been foreseen yet. The possible cost-effective approach is hybrid approaches, which are supposed to address the key emerging requirements such as high data rate, low energy consumption, low latency and the support/integration of heterogeneous devices/networks.
The potential techniques to meet the abovementioned requirements are ultra-densification, mm-wave (millimeter wave) communications, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), full duplex technology, adaptive three dimensional (3D) beam-forming, dynamic spectrum accesses and advanced multiple access schemes. Besides these techniques, several aspects such as software defined radio/networking, Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent caching, cloud computing and Big Data are being considered as important enablers for 5G wireless communication systems.There is a need of flexible test and measurement solutions to generate and analyze wideband signals with carrier frequencies operating at 5G (ranging from 6 GHz to more than 60 GHz).

Modern Radios: 5G and SDR Emerging Trends
Higher frequency bands in the millimeter-wave range place high demand of characterization of mm-wave components used in 5G communications devices and systems, such as filters, oscillator, couplers, hybrids, mixers, amplifiers and antennas. Measurement systems for efficient and reliable characterization of these components need to address various challenges in order to ensure wide frequency coverage, high dynamic range, high output power, signal stability and signal quality with as little distortion and harmonic content as possible. An all-in-one solution needed to ensure easy calibration/operation as well as accurate/stable measurements. The SDR architecture requires modular and high level design of embedded software to ensure portability across various hardware platforms. The processing elements used in SDR for signal processing and protocol processing consist of general purpose processors (GPPs), digital signal processors (DSPs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). FPGA performs high speed DSP and control processing while DSP performs symbol rate or slower algorithms.
