The MITRE Tactical Channel Emulation System

Abstract

A real-time digital baseband emulator of radio frequency (RF) propagation channels has been developed and demonstrated. The architectural features of this system enable a tradeoff between the number of radio nodes and the fidelity of the channel models. Further, the approach presented here results in a system that is scalable to an arbitrary number of radio nodes. The system that we have developed facilitates the testing of tactical radios to an extent not previously available, and is in current use by a DoD customer.
