A software defined radio (SDR) is a modern radio communication system that can be reconfigured on-the-fly. In this paper, we describe a project on introducing SDR to the Bachelor of Wireless Engineering (BWE) curriculum at Auburn University. In particular, we focus on developing an SDR laboratory course based on the GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) platform. We describe ...

This paper presents a new approach that is complete functionality of SDR implemented in an Application Specific Instruction Processor (ASIP). In this paper, we discuss the details of design of architecture for an ASIP for SDR with a single bus and dedicated paths. We explain the instruction-set design for implementation of the SDR functionality and their instruction formats. We have used System...

No comparative study about somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) on different rat strains has been done yet. It is evident that comparative SEP studies are important since different rat strains have different physiological properties. We aimed to compare early latency SEP values from stimulation of sciatic nerve in Wistar (Wr) and Sprague-Dawley (SDr) rats which are frequently used rat strains ...

In our Software Defined Radio (SDR) project we aim at combining two different types of standards, Bluetooth and HiperLAN/2 on one common hardware platform. HiperLAN/2 is a high-speedWireless LAN (WLAN) standard, whereas Bluetooth is a low-cost and low-speed Personal Area Network (PAN) standard. An SDR system is a flexible radio system that is re-programmable and re-configurable by software in o...

Software-defined radio (SDR) terminals are critical to enable concrete and consecutive inter-working between fourth generation wireless access systems or communication modes. Next generation of SDR terminals will have heavy hardware requirements and the switching between the different resource utilization modes will introduce dynamism in respect to timing and size of resource requests. This stu...

Wireless communication technology such as cellular and wireless local area network (WLAN) systems have grown rapidly and generated various competing transmission formats. In the need of seamless communication across incompatible radio standards, software defined radio (SDR) concept has received much attention among researchers working in mobile and personal wireless communications. SDR is a tec...

INTRODUCTION Duration of treatment for brucellar spondylitis in endemic regions is controversial. This study describes the outcome of treatment in 50 cases of brucellar spondylitis in Iran. METHODOLOGY From April 2001 to September 2010, we treated 20, 13, 11 and 6 cases with doxycycline plus rifampin (DR), streptomycin plus doxycycline plus rifampin (SDR), cotrimoxazole plus doxycycline plus ...

Socially desirable responding (SDR) is a personality trait which reflects either a tendency to present oneself in an overly positive manner to others, consistent with social conformity (impression management (IM)), or the tendency to view one's own behaviour in an overly positive light (self-deceptive enhancement (SDE)). Neurochemical imaging studies report an inverse relationship between SDR a...

Emerging standards in the area of mobile services, such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), require new capabilities from mobile devices. As a result, these devices should be aware of how to download and correctly install particular software. For this purpose, the Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology is used at pres...
