IQ modulators advance reconfigurable radio
While true software-defined radio has yet to be implemented cost effectively
for general applications, improvements in signal-processing functions such
as IQ modulators move the RF industry ever closer to that goal....
Standardizing smart antenna API for SDR networks
In addition to defining the smart antenna application programming interface (API), this article will also describe the smart antenna API in detail and explore its benefits. Plus, it will introduce the smart antenna working group and the process they are following in developing this API, as well discuss steps toward standardization....
