Research abstract
The Agile Space Radio (ASR) is a reconfigurable and secure Software Defined Radio (SDR) family originally developed at Space Micro with AFRL Kirtland AFB SBIR funding. Our ASR has evolved to reflect the latest FPGA technology and the demonstrated ability to host a myriad of waveforms (SS-FH, CDMA, QPSK, OQPSK, FSK, PSK). Our ASRs are in modular format with scalable (based on the distance) levels of RF power out based on a family of Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs).
