Abstract

Radio is a hardware device which operates in the radio frequency part of electromagnetic spectrum and facilitates communication. There are a variety of standards in commercial use to establish communication through their specific application. Traditional radio devices limit cross-functionality and demonstrate minimal flexibility in supporting multiple waveform standards. Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology provides an efficient solution by allowing a multiband, multistandard, multiservice and multichannel system which can be reconfigured for interstandard handover.
