| The hardware and software configuration for a software defined radio (SDR) platform is investigated in this work. The Sundance's SDR platform (SMT8036E) is considered as a typical representation of said SDR architecture. This platform includes a DSP module (SMT365E), an ADC/DAC module (SMT370) and IF/RF module (SMT349) mounted on a PCI board (SMT310Q). The RF front end supports 16 MHz bandwidth in the 2.4 GHz--2.5 GHz ISM band. In this work, several functionalities are examined, such as the assembly of symbols and patterns for transmission, reception and synchronization of the data. Transmitter and receiver signal processing functions are implemented using the real time operating system 3L DiamondRTM. The performance of the system is analyzed by conducting wireless transmission experiments in an indoor environment using BPSK modulation. The measurement of bit error rate for various seperations of transmitter and receiver is presented and compared to the theoretical results. |
