Software engine development for SDR

This paper focuses on the development of the software engine for an SDR hardware platform [1][2]. This SDR hardware system operates across the frequency band from 1.6GHz to 2.5GHz with the capability to support the GSM1800, PCS 1900, UMTS-FDD, UMTS-TDD and 802.11b standards. It consists of TX/RX RF front-ends, data converters and the USB 2.0 PHY interface.
