Radio Communication System

Challenges involved in space communications across wireless channels call for new approaches to radio systems. Due to the growing need for frequency change in modern wireless systems, an adaptive radio system has the highest demand. Software-defined radios (SDR) offer this type of adaptivity as well as compatibility with other standard platforms such as USRP/GNU radio. Despite limitations of this approach due to hardware components, viable modeling and simulation as well as deployable systems are possible using this platform. This chapter presents a detailed implementation procedure for a USRP/GNU radio-based SDR communication system that can be used for practical experiments as well as an academic lab in this field. In this experiment the USRP has been configured to receive signal from a local radio station using the BasicRX model daughterboard. The programmable USRP executes Python block code implemented in the GNU Radio Companion (GRC) on Ubuntu OS.

Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides a comprehensive radio communication platform, based on which new technology can be used through software update. This leads to a large-scale reduction in expansion costs and enables the product to maintain technology development. The SDR platform can be set up with an open, standard, and programmable hardware platform, based on which the functions of the radio can be perceived by adding appropriate software modules. In this platform, the transformation and expansion of the radio functions are done in a software version without the need for a modification of the equipment. Such software radio station can easily communicate with the current or upcoming radio stations. In this article, we analyze SDR evolution and various platforms and implement various modulation techniques with the aim of successfully transferring a message wirelessly over-the-air using ADALM-PLUTO SDR platform by Analog Devices.

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Software Defined Radio (SDR) merupakan sistem komunikasi radio berbasis software yang saat ini mulai banyak diimplementasikan dan menunjukkan potensi yang besar. Tingginya efisiensi dalam hal biaya dibandingkan dengan sistem konvensional berbasis perangkat menjadi motivasi bagi berkembangnya konsep ini diberbagai aplikasi. Salah satu aplikasi yang dapat diterapkan menggunakan konsep SDR adalah sistem komunikasi Radar, Software Defined Radar (SDRadar). Radar berbasis software diharapkan dapat menurunkan biaya pembuatan hardware, serta dapat mendukung perancangan Radar yang dapat melakukan banyak fungsi dan lebih flexible untuk melakukan konfigurasi ulang. Radar multifungsi dapat dibangun dengan berbasis software yakni mulai dari pengaturan jenis sinyal, frekuensi operasi, hingga pada tahap pemrosesan sinyal radar. Penelitian ini merancang FMCW Radar menggunakan platform SDR.  Simulasi dilakukan dengan mencoba posisi objek yang berbeda, dengan nilai SNR yang berbeda. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan implementasi konsep SDR untuk Radar dapat mendukung fleksibilitas rekonfigurasi parameter Radar. Untuk spesifik radar yang disimulasikan diperoleh bahwa SNR yang baik untuk dapat mendeteksi jarak object dengan baik (error &lt;11%) ialah diatas 20dB. Radar dengan SNR dibawah 20 dB tidak dapat mendeteksi jarak objek dengan baik, dimana error melebihi 50%. Radar Pulsa disimulasikan menggunakan pernagkat USRP dengan factor pengkoreksi/kalibrasi 1.376, sedangkan untuk Radar FMCW masih terdapat error sebsar 70.8%.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci : </em></strong><em>SDR, SDRadar, FMCW Radar</em></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><em>Absract - </em><strong>Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a software-based radio communication system that is currently implemented and show great potential to be developed. The efficiency in terms of cost as compared to conventional systems which based on devices is a motivation for the development of this concept in various applications. One of the applications that can be implemented utilizing the concept of SDR is Software Defined Radar (SDRadar). Radar with software based is expected to have lower cost and support the feasibility of Radar to perform in many functions and more flexible to be reconfigured. This research implement the FMCW Radar using SDR platform. Simulations carried out by trying different object positions, with different SNR values. The simulation results show the implementation concept of SDR's Radar can support the flexibility of Radar parameter reconfiguration. For specific simulated radar shows that a suitable SNR value to detect the distance of object (error &lt;11%) is above 20dB. Radar with SNR under 20 dB could not detect the distance of objects well, where the error exceeds 50%. Radar Pulse also simulated using USRP with factor correction or calibration factor of 1,376, while for FMCW with USRP still obtain high error of about 70.8%.</strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> <em>SDR, SDRadar, FMCW Radar</em>.</p>

Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems are the ones which can adapt to the future-proof solution and it covers both existing and emerging standards. An SDR has to possess elements of reconfigurability, intelligence and software programmable hardware. The main interest in any communication group is the sure sending of signals of info from a transmitter to a receiver. The signals are transmitted via a guide who corrupts the signal. To ensure reliable communication forward error-correcting (FEC) codes are the main part of a communication system. This chapter will discuss an SDR system built using LabVIEW for a Generic Transceiver. This chapter has covered emerging software radio standards and the technologies being used to specify and support them.
