SDR

From Embedded Channels

A Software-Defined Radio is a communications device featuring func-tionality via its software. While an SDR is capable of receiving and/or transmitting signals in the Radio Frequency (RF) spec-trum band, the modulation methods used in the transmission are a function of thesoftware currently loaded on the device. By implementing the device functional-ity in software, SDR technology enablesdesigners to build such future-proof sys-tems. Unlike their hardware-centric coun-terparts, SDR systems can exhibit new behavior with dynamic software uploads eliminating the need to upgrade the under-lying hardware platform, lengthening thehardware life cycle.

White Paper: How Does the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Standard Measure up Against the PMC/XMC Format for Embedded Defense/Aerospace Applications?

Staff (Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing)
FMCs promise to do for FPGA based solutions what PMC and XMC did for embedded CPU based systems. However, FMC is not really competing with PMC or XMC, but actually complements it, particularly for high bandwidth, low latency applications.

      • Liberty, SC 29657 USA 864-843-4343 www.sealevel.com The ACC-188 USB synchronous serial radio adapter and free software from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) upgrades tactical radios with the capability to send and receive IP data such as email, text messages, GPS maps, images, and coordinates. The ACC-188 operates in conjunction with standard PDA-184 software developed by and available from DISA. The PDA-184 software provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows radio users to transmit and receive a variety of data types at much higher speeds than is possible with comparable, proprietary solutions. A key advantage of the ACC-188 is that it enables interoperability among the various radio brands and models used by the defense community. The ACC-188 is compatible with any tactical radio that has a synchronous communication port using MIL-STD-188-184. This includes the most prevalent brands and models: Raytheon AN/PSC-5D and ARC-231; Harris AN/PRC-117F and AN/PRC-150; Thales AN/PRC-148; Rockwell Collins ARC-210; Motorola LST-5B and LST-5C. The PDA-184 software is government-developed, governmentowned by DISA and includes these features:
      • Saves thousands of dollars per radio compared to upgrading hardware and purchasing expensive proprietary software
      • Interoperable (send/receive data with different radio models and brands)
