COGNITIVE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO SDR-LAB SDR04

Features:

Description:

The Amitec SDR-LAB is a software programmable hardware

transceiver which allows limitless telecommunication laboratory
experiments to be performed on a single device. The entry
barrier is lowered to include the under graduate students by
providing a graphical programming environment. The burden on
faculty is lowered by using courseware designed at IITD from
simple FM to most complex MIMO. Lab technicians are eased
by integrated hardware and software from same source for
trouble free performance.

Courseware designed at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

200MHz ARM9 with 512KB embedded SRAM
Alterra Cyclone FPGA with single cycle access memory,
18X18 multipliers for dedicated DSP & programmable
general logic elements
Works as spectrum analyzer, vector signal generator &
vector signal analyzer
Core i5 Quad Core, 3 X USB 3.0 Mobile Workstation
Covers white spaces, broadcast television, public safety,
land-mobile communications, low-power unlicensed devices,
wireless sensor networks, cell phones, amateur radio bands.
Future ready from simple FM to WCDMA/HSPA, 4G-LTE
standard to whatever future may hold
Hundreds of experiments and growing.....

The system is ideally suited for applications requiring high RF

performance and great bandwidth such as physical layer
prototyping, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio,
spectrum monitoring and even networked sensor deployment.
The Superspeed USB 3.0 interface at 5Gbps serves as the
connection between the SDR-LAB and the mobile workstation.
This enables the user to realize 40 MS/s of real-time bandwidth
in the receive and transmit directions, simultaneously (full
duplex). FPGA is autoloading so hadrware is plug and play as a
pen drive! No need to program the FPGA for most cases!
The systems offers MIMO capability with high bandwidth and
dynamic range. Two units may be connected to realize a
complete 2x2 MIMO configuration. External PPS and reference
inputs can also be used to create larger multi-channel systems.
ASIC houses complete RF and DAQ subsystems on a single
board. Coupled with these benefits it hosts onboard RF
Transceiver subsystems capable of tuning frequencies from
400MHz to 4GHz.
For ease of usage Core i5 Quad Core, USB 3.0 Mobile
Workstation/Note book Computer provided with Linux Ubuntu
pre loaded and tested with hardware for no surprises.
