About this Item

Hardcover. This book introduces the reader to the concept of an autonomous software-defined radio (SDR) receiver. Each distinct aspect of the design of the receiver is treated in a separate chapter written by one or more leading innovators in the field. Chapters begin with a problem statement and then offer a full mathematical derivation of an appropriate solution, a decision metric or loop-structure as appropriate, and performance results. This book treats the design and development of algorithms that allow successful autonomous operation of a software-defined radio (SDR) system. Unlike a software radio that is simply reconfigurable, this book treats the problem of autonomously reconfiguring a radio to receive whatever type of signal happens to come in.
