Adaptive Multi-Channel Software Defined Radio System

Broadata Communications, Inc. (BCI) proposes to investigate and develop a new Adaptive Multi-Channel Software Defined Radio (AMSDR) System based on an intelligent decision feedback based diversity receiver for UHF SATCOM systems. The AMSDR system utilizes high performance, state-of-the-art, physical layer receiver algorithms implemented in software radio, providing high adaptability pertinent to software defined radio architecture, and also, more importantly, significantly enhancing the performance due to the first-ever implementation of the latest innovative diversity algorithms in software radio architecture. The final AMSDR system will use the Software Communications Architecture, support multiple waveforms, and provide Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) capabilities. The AMSDR system will be based on advanced decision feedback based algorithm for signal detection and a innovative signal combining mechanism together providing Signal to noise ratio (SNR) performance improvement of 4-6dB as compared to existing systems. In addition, AMSDR provides all the benefits of software radio such as adaptability, significant cost savings, easy upgrades to future technologies and flexibility.
