A Software Defined Radio Test-bed for WLAN Front Ends
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our Software Defined Radio (SDR) project we aim at combining two different types of standards, Bluetooth and HiperLAN/2 on one common flexible hardware platform. The HiperLAN/2 hardware is that complex compared to the Bluetooth hardware, that Bluetooth capability may be added to the HiperLAN/2 platform at limited cost. The question is how to do this. In this paper we first describe the radio front-end functions and their implementation. Subsequently the test-bed that will assist us in building the hardware platform is described. We present the method by which we use the HiperLAN/2 front-end for Bluetooth reception purposes. Our system consists of three parts: analog signal processing, digital channel selection and digital demodulation. The analog processing function is capable of reception of both standards. The demodulation function and channel selection function are implemented in two separate software programs (one for each standard) that allow the exploration of different design alternatives and the assessment of computational cost of the receiver. keywords: Software Defined Radio, HiperLAN/2, Bluetooth, Physical Layer, Radio Frequency, Channel Selection, Demodulation.

A FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO 5GHz U-NII BAND WLAN RADIO DEVELOPMENT
This paper summarizes developments aimed at providing cheap manufacturable 5 GHz data radio front-ends for the newly created U-NII and HIPERLAN bands. The result is a set of reconfigurable modules for radio architecture experimentation and a small form factor 5 GHz radio for WLAN and link applications which is economical and manufacturable in volume.
متن کاملAn Analogue Front-end Test-bed for Software Defined Radio
A Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio receiver and/or transmitter, whose characteristics can to a large extent be defined by software. Thus, an SDR can receive and/or transmit a wide variety of signals, supporting many different standards. In our research, we currently focus on a demonstrator that is able to receive both Bluetooth and HiperLAN/2. This helps us to identify problems associate...
