This paper presents the new development result of the multi-band, the multi-mode SDR(Software Defined Radar) platform. The SDR hardware platform is implemented by using the reconfigurable multi-band RF transceiver and antenna modules of S, X, and K-bands, and a programmable signal processing module. The SDR software platform is implemented by using the multi-mode waveform generation of CW, Pulse, FMCW, and LFM Chirp as well as the adaptable algorithm library of signal processing and open API software modules. Through the integrated test of the SDR platform, the operational performance was verified in real-time. Also, through the field-application test, the ground target and air-vehicle drone target were successfully detected and their test results were presented.

In this paper, we first design the block diagram of the components for multi-mode SDR terminal based on SCA technology. It support both WIMAX mode and HSDPA mode. Then from the result of the analysis with a real SDR terminal implementation, we analyze which components of it have to be more lightweight. In addition we derive the general formula for the measure of dynamic reconfiguration time on the reconfiguration of the components. Finally we present a dynamic component-level reconfiguration algorithm with 22 stages based on the result of our analysis without violating the interface and procedure of SCA specification.

Software defined radar (SDR) is a multi-purpose radar system where most of the hardware processing is performed by software. This paper introduces a concept and technology trends of software defined radar, and addresses the advantages and limitations of the current SDR radar systems. For the advanced SDR concept, the KAU SDR Model (KSM) is presented for the multimode and multiband radar system operating in S-, X-, and K-bands. This SDR consists of a replaceable multiband antenna and RF hardware, common digital processor module with multimode, and open software platform based on MATLAB and LabVIEW. The new concept of the SDR radar can be useful in various applications of the education, traffic monitoring and safety, security, and surveillance depending on the various radar environments.

Multi-band and multi-mode transmitters are needed for SDR and CR. Recently many types of polar transmitters have been studied in order to implement a multi-band and multi-mode transmitter. Polar transmitters have many advantages, such as a simple structure, high efficiency and etc. In this paper we consider the number of D/A bit and the effects of a delay mismatch as design parameters for implementing polar transmitters. From the simulation we know that a 10 bit D/A is sufficient and a delay mismatch must be maintained small than 1/64 chip for satisfying the spectrum mask characteristics. We implement a polar transmitter based on the design parameters and the measured output signal meet the spectrum mask of 800MHz CDMA.

In this study, we design an optimized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based GNSS signal processing technique with the goal of designing and implementing a GNSS Software Defined Receiver (SDR) that can operate in real time all-in-view mode under multi-constellation and multi-frequency signal environment. In the proposed structure the correlators of the existing GNSS SDR are processed by the GPU. We designed a memory structure and processing method that can minimize memory access bottlenecks and optimize the GPU memory resource distribution. The designed GNSS SDR can select and operate only the desired GNSS or desired satellite signals by user input. Also, parameters such as the number of quantization bits, sampling rate, and number of signal tracking arms can be selected. The computing capability of the designed GPU-based GNSS SDR was evaluated and it was confirmed that up to 2400 channels can be processed in real time. As a result, the GPU-based GNSS SDR has sufficient performance to operate in real-time all-in-view mode. In future studies, it will be used for more diverse GNSS signal processing and will be applied to multipath effect analysis using more tracking arms.

In the previous report1), the grinding characteristics of quartz were investigated. In this paper, the grinding mechanisms of brittle materials including ceramics and quartz are modeled and a new parameter SDR(Surface roughness Direction Ratio) is proposed to characterize the grinding mechanisms of such materials. A set of experiments were performed to verify the effectiveness of the suggested parameter. The experimental results indicate that the plastic deformation is the dominant material removal mode at the grinding conditions which show the higher value of SDR. In the case of quartz, the material was removed by brittle fracture in a lower value of SDR and by plastic deformation in a higher value of it. SDR is not affected by wheel mesh size when brittle fracture occured. But in the plastic deformation case, SDR value increases with wheel mesh size.

This paper presents a SDR-based Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) decoder using a multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP). For decoder implementation, multicore DSP TMS320C6670 is used, which provides various hardware accelerators such as turbo decoder, fast Fourier transformer and Bit Rate Coprocessors. The TMS320C6670 is a DSP specialized in implementing base station platforms and is not an optimized platform for implementing mobile terminal platform. Accordingly, in this paper, the hardware accelerator was changed to the terminal implementation to implement the LTE-A PDSCH decoder supporting the multi-antenna and the functions not provided by the hardware accelerator were implemented through core programming. Also pipeline using multicore was implemented to meet the transmission time interval. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed implementation, we verified the real-time decoding capability of the PDSCH decoder implemented using the LTE-A Reference Measurement Channel (RMC) waveform about transmission mode 2 and 3.

This paper proposes reconfigurable hardware structures for spreading and scrambling of multi-mode CDMA systems. The proposed reconfigurable structures supporting IS-95, cdma2000 and WCDMA, include a pseudo noise code generator, a channelization code generator and a control circuit for signal flow control. The proposed reconfigurable structures provide an efficient hardware usage for multi-mode CDMA systems. The synthesis results show the area reduction about 24.7% compared with the original code generators. The proposed structures can provide efficient reconfigurability and high speed operations for future SDR systems.
