Implementing Software Defined Radio – a 16 QAM System using the USRP2 Board Project Proposal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software Defined Radio takes what used to be physically ingrained within the radio and provides a variety of hardware and software alternatives that add to it more flexibility and functionality. This project looks to implement a 16QAM communication system using a baseband receiver and transmitter and two USPR2 boards. It will show the benefits of Software Defined Radio (SDR) and will demonstrate the power, flexibility, and advantages that it gives the designer through the ease of modification that it provides. This project does, however, require a great amount of new, unfamiliar software which may prove to be one of its biggest challenges.
