TESTING THE TRANSMISSION PATH OF A SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO PLATFORM
Abstract
The paper presents the experimental characterization of the transmission path of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. The characterization has been conducted by determining the standard parameters for the digital-toanalog converter testing in the frequency domain. In particular, a test method using sinewave input signals and a spectrum analyzer has been used. Experimental results have been conducted by using two different signal generation configurations offered by the SDR platform. In the former, the signal generation is realized by software in the computer connected to the SDR; in the latter, the signal generation task is left to the numerically controlled oscillator located in the SDR CODEC.
