Software Defined Radio Networks
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 14:59:58
Objective
The Software Defined Radio Networks course will bridge the common division between radios and networks. It will introduce the student to simplified radio processing functions and then show how these functions are implemented in programmable logic or general purpose processors. A SDR designed and built at the University of Kansas will be used for as a platform for demonstrations and experiments.
Content
Basic of software defined radio hardware and communications including: radio frequency sub-systems; simple digital modulation techniques; spreading; error control, encryption, compression, radio channel effects; simple receiver design; analog-digital and digital-analog conversion; simple digital signal processing. Configuration of SDRs using the KU Agile Radio. Designing and implementing radio software modules for FPGAs, embedded processors, and radio control processors. Integrating radio network control and management algorithms with SDRs. This topic includes measuring current operating conditions; methods of exchanging current conditions between radios; and algorithms to adapt SDRs to measured conditions.
