OMTE SDR4all
Software Defined Radio for research and teaching
First published : Monday 29 March 2010 by Aurélie Bourrat
SDR4all is a result of collaboration between the CEA and Supélec.
The software is designed for engineering schools, research institutes and telecommunications companies.
It is based on the principle of Software Defined Radio (SDR). It involves a radio receiver created mainly by software and used in mobile radio networks such as GSM for example.
Using SDR4all, users can introduce algorithms into transmission channels in real time and test its transmission schemes under real-life conditions. This makes it easy to move through the development stages (theory -> simulation -> implementation) and so considerably reduces the innovation cycle.
