Multiple Communication Protocols for Software Defined Radio
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an inexpensive multi-protocol communication system implemented entirely in software comprised of Global Positioning System (GPS), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT). All three communications protocols share the same Analog to Digital converter and are sampled at the same hardware sampling rate. The hardware sampling clock is provided by a high stability crystal oscillator at a sampling frequency suited for the GPS receiver. For the WLAN and BT systems, the sampling rate is modified with an interpolation filter and a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) both implemented in software. The communication system is able to execute simultaneously in software the physical layer processing and data sample timing for GPS, WLAN, and BT employing Sandbridge Technologies’ multithreaded Sandblaster SB9600 Processor.

متن کاملSoftware Defined Radio - A High Performance Embedded Challenge
Wireless communication is one of the most computationally demanding workloads. It is performed by mobile terminals (“cell phones”) and must be accomplished by a small battery powered system. An important goal of the wireless industry is to develop hardware platforms that can support multiple protocols implemented in software (software defined radio) to support seamless end-user service over a v...
متن کاملDissertation - Sandor Szilvasi
Traditional wireless sensor node designs follow a common architectural paradigm that connects a low-power integrated radio transceiver chip to a microcontroller. This approach facilitated research on communication protocols that focused on the media access control layer and above, but the closed architecture of radio chips and the limited performance of microcontrollers prevented experimentatio...
