Modern Methods for Processing SDR Data Stream

doi: 10.32567/hm.2024.2.7

Abstract

Today, the development of semiconductor technology makes it possible to receive and record radio signals with a high bandwidth using SDRs. This has many advantages, but as it grows, the amount of data to be processed can grow to such an extent that it can no longer be processed or stored in real time with a traditional computer. Thus, it becomes appropriate to use programmable target hardware such as FPGAs, which can be used to significantly increase the efficiency of signal processing. In order to take advantage of the potential of these tools, in-depth professional knowledge is required. According to my experience, there is no uniform method for developing the functions of FPGAs related to my topic. In this way, I see it as necessary, after studying the literature, to formulate a method that enables high-speed data reception with the FPGA in an optimal way.
