Software Radio Architecture

Descripción

"This book provides coverage of software radio architecture, discussing in detail functions, components, design procedures for complex radio systems, and large-scale software engineering methods such as UML and CORBA. The author bridges the interdisciplinary gap in the field, covering what software engineers need to know about how radio "waveforms" are defined in software. Plus, he provides tutorial material on how the Unified Modeling Language - UML - is used for specifying radio architecture. The architecture tradeoffs - how to deliver predictably robust performance without unnecessarily expensive hardware, economic principles, cost considerations, and marketplace trends - are also addressed."--BOOK JACKET.
