The software-defined radio platforms that currently exist are mainly focused on the development of software communication blocks, leaving aside the hardware development, so the need arises to have a testing platform for hardware blocks which also allows us to interact with a radio frequency stage to perform blocks tests of complete communication systems in the air such as WiFi, Bluethoot, Zig Bee among others. This article describes the design of a platform based on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology and microprocessor, which allows having multiple blocks and algorithms in hardware and software and interacting between them. In the same way there is a significant number of general purpose interfaces for testing the signals, as well as having specific interfaces which allow us to interconnect with different radio frequency platforms and communication cards with the computer. This allows you to work with different radio technologies according to your needs. A use case is presented in which a Bluethoot transmitter is tested with the use of the platform.

Currently, the development of satellite communications systems (SCS) is associated with the development of signals of complex structure. The popularization and distribution of software-defined radio systems (Software-defined radio, SDR) are noted, which leads to a decrease of quality of functioning of the SCS. Promising areas of countering the unauthorized use of the time-frequency resource of the KA repeater are methods aimed at determining the location of subscriber terminals (ST) and analyzing the service and semantic parts of the transmitted message. Accounting for changes of physical parameters requires the use of a large amount of heterogeneous a priori data; it is not achievable task in practice. According to the theory of mathematical statistics, the approximation is used at solving problems of sample analysis. The result of the approximation is a spatio-temporal radio-frequency portrait (STRFP) of an ST participating in the formation of a group signal. Thus, the aim of the research is to develop a model of changing the physical parameters of a radio signal and to study the possibility of approximating physical parameters in order to form a spatio-temporal radiofrequency portrait of an ST SCS.

This paper describes the design, implementation, and testing of a novel multi-function software defined Radio Frequency (RF) system designed for small airborne drone applications. The system was created using an inexpensive Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to combine a coherent linear frequency modulated radar transmitter and receiver, with a Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) jammer for use with a common RF aperture in simultaneous operation. The system was implemented on a Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA with a wideband analogue-to-digital/ digital-to-analogue (ADC/DAC) converter mezzanine board and tested using hardware-in-the-loop mode to validate its performance. This is the first known account of an integrated multifunction electronic attack and radar system on a single chip, capable of performing a simultaneous, not time shared, operation.

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine the barriers that special educator teachers encounter when using iPads within the Life Skills classroom. The research investigates the experiences, frustrations, and barriers through educators’ perceptions of iPad implementation. The influence of these issues suggests why iPad usage is not a device that special education classrooms are using in a widespread daily manner. Exploration of iPads as an educational tool and as a communication device is also discussed, along with considerations of other communications systems such as Picture Exchange Communication Systems and Alternative and Augmented Communication Devices is considered. Recommendations for further possible research are also discussed.

Radio Frequency Spectrum

In this paper we examine the emerging industry of Cognitive Radio/Software Defined Radio (CR/SDR), a sector which in some ways seconds the industry structure of the cellular mobile communications, while bearing distinctive characteristics. Any radio telecommunications infrastructure depends on scarce resources – radio frequency spectrum – that require policy decisions for allocation to specific countries and services. CR/SDR may constitute a new paradigm in radio communications as it may completely or partially eliminate the role of the regulator in minutiae of spectrum access authorization. In this paper, we review scarce literature on CR/SDR to analyze the relationships between political, technological and economic factors in order to identify drivers and barriers to the emergence of new techno-economic paradigm of CR/SDR. Our discussion of business opportunities for CR/SDR includes analysis of applicable spectrum access policies and identification of those of them, which would be most fertile for the development of future CR/SDR business.

Radio Frequency Spectrum

Deployment of space systems based on multi-satellite constellations to provide broadband Internet access and communication services acutely raises the question of their radio frequency support including issues of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between competing space systems using multi-satellite constellations (StarLink, OneWeb, Kuiper, etc.), their EMC with traditional space systems (satellite communication systems that employ spacecraft in geostationary and non-geostationary orbits, space systems of other services), as well as regulatory issues of entering into service and staged deployment of space systems. The article formulates the problematic issues of radio frequency support of modern space systems taking into account the trends of satellite constellations deployment and proposes the solutions with consideration to international and national requirements in the regulation of radio frequency spectrum including the ITU requirements and the requirements of Russian State Commission for Radio Frequencies. The paper shows the ways to share the radio frequency spectrum to meet new requirements of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19).
