Software Defined Radio New Trends for Wireless Transceivers
Several techniques are now being utilized to ensure efficient communications across the jam-packed radio spectrum. Chief among them are SDRs, which enable software to dynamically control communication parameters such as the frequency band, modulation type and data rates. SDR leads to delaying the binding of design decisions until execution time. Hence, the designers can incorporate the latest developments that enable them to improve the performance of the developed systems. Additionally, SDR
