Universal MIMO-OFDM SDR for Mobile Autonomous Networks

Abstract

This final report presents Pulsar's (Pulsar was recently incorporated as Silvus Communication Systems, Inc.) progress on NAVY SBIR topic number N04-109. In the course of the Phase-1 effort Pulsar has defined a universal MIMO SDR architecture. We have also defined, simulated and evaluated all the constituent algorithms and protocols for the SDR. The following three bullets summarize the main accomplishments of the phase-1 effort: 1) A robust and highly agile software defined radio architecture has been identified along with a candidate set of algorithms that will enable end to end MIMO communications. These algorithms have gone through testing and verification. 2) A complete end to end simulation has been created that implements all transmitter and receive algorithms in sample accurate simulation environment, and the resulting system performance has been simulated in characteristic environments. The results are
