Articles

3U CompactPCI for Quick Response C4ISR Systems (pdf)
The evolving nature of military operations often requires that the government rapidly develop and deploy special-purpose wireless systems supporting mission-specific applications. This article looks at the requirements for the technologies needed to enable a quick response capability, suggest a solution for addressing these requirements, and highlight a real world example.

Can the Military use Commercial Wireless Signal Processing Technologies to Reduce Size, Weight and Power in Radio Devices? (pdf)
As a continuing column in the IEEE Communciations Magazine Quarterly Radio Supplement, Spectrum's Chief Technology Officer Lee Pucker explores this question in the March 2007 issue.

Mapping waveforms to systems: What would a wideband networking waveform system require? (pdf)
When building a Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) modem that must support a wide variety of disparate waveforms, it can be very challenging to assess the overall system requirements. A pragmatic process exists that can be employed to evaluate the requirements of a wideband waveform and to map these requirements to a hardware platform.

Extending the SCA Core Framework Inside the Modem Architecture of a Software Defined Radio (pdf)
Illustrates the application of the SCA core framework for SDR modem architectures, including aggregating devices in support of direct hardware interconnects between components and the incorporation of a switched fabric communications infrastructure within the overall modem architecture.
