Abstract

The design of software radio systems faces many challenges due to demands on high bandwidth processing. In order for system designers to tackle the problems more easily, we propose a complete, efficient, and flexible design methodology. The proposed method not only considers software radios from front-ends to baseband but also includes the performance and power models. This methodology is efficient in the way that the whole system and constraints are described by mathematical equations and inequalities such that it becomes an optimization problem which is easier to solve. By replacing the equations and with different combination of the models, various architectures can be simulated. In this paper, design considerations and procedure for software radios are described, and the constraints are formulated in the form of equations and inequalities. Examples are also given to demonstrate the methodology.
