Theses -- Electrical and electronic engineering Dissertations -- Electrical and electronic engineering Software radio Electrical and Electronic Engineering Thesis (MScEng (Electical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. Software defined radios (SDRs) implement in software those parts of a radio which have traditionally been implemented in analogue hardware. We explain the importance of this definition and introduce reconfigurability and portability as two further goals. Reconfigurabilty is a property of the SDR platform, which may be a microprocessor, configurable hardware device, or combination of the two. We demonstrate that the field-programmable gate array is suficient for the implementation of practical SDR systems. Portability, on the other hand, is a property of the modulation and demodulation software, also known as waveform specification software. We evaluate techniques for achieving portability and show that waveforms can be specified in a generic form suitable for the autogeneration of implementations targetting both microprocessor- and FPGA-based architectures. The generated code is in C++ and VHDL respectively, and the tools used include formal models of computation and the XSLT language. 2007-10-31T12:48:31Z 2010-06-01T08:39:40Z 2007-10-31T12:48:31Z 2010-06-01T08:39:40Z 2007-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2056 University of Stellenbosch 2931052 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
