Software-defined radios (SDRs) have been around for more than a decade. The
first complete Global Positioning System (GPS) implementation was described
by Dennis Akos in 1997. Since then several research groups have presented their
contributions.We therefore find it timely to publish an up-to-date text on the subject
and at the same time include Galileo, the forthcoming European satellitebased
navigation system. Both GPS and Galileo belong to the category of Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Abstract: High-speed and low-speed data converters serve critical functions in modern broadband mobile radios. This application note outlines how todetermine high-speed data converter performance requirements in baseband sampling radio architectures. Also, system partition strategies andadvantages are outlined when considering a high-speed analog front-end (AFE) solution.
Radio frequency (RF) can be a complex subject to navigate, but it does not have to be. If you are just getting started with radios or maybe you cannot find that old reference book about antenna aperture, this guide can help. It is intended to provide a basic understanding of RF technology, as well act as a quick reference for those who “know their stuff” but may be looking to brush up on that one niche term that they never quite understood. This document is also a useful reference for Maxim’s products and data sheets, an index to deeper analysis found in our application notes, and a general reference for all things RF.

This introduction takes a visionary look at ideal cognitive radios (CRs) that inte-
grate advanced software-defined radios (SDR) with CR techniques to arrive at
radios that learn to help their user using computer vision, high-performance
speech understanding, global positioning system (GPS) navigation, sophisticated
adaptive networking, adaptive physical layer radio waveforms, and a wide range
of machine learning processes.
This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and
motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the
support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New
approaches to distributed coordination of cognitive radios are developed in different
spectrum sharing scenarios. The Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 802.11 proto-
col of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (IEEE, 2003) with
its enhancement for QoS support (IEEE, 2005d) is taken as basis. The Medium Access
Control (MAC) of 801.11(e) is modified to realize flexible and dynamic spectrum
assignment within a liberalized regulation framework.
Cognitive radios have become a vital solution that allows sharing of the scarce
frequency spectrum available for wireless systems. It has been demonstrated
that it can be used for future wireless systems as well as integrated into 4G/5G
wireless systems. Although there is a great amount of literature in the design of
cognitive radios from a system and networking point of view, there has been very
limited available literature detailing the circuit implementation of such systems.
Our textbook, Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design for Cognitive radios, is
the first book to fill a disconnect in the literature between Cognitive Radio systems
and a detailed account of the circuit implementation and architectures required to
implement such systems. In addition, this book describes several novel concepts
that advance state-of-the-art cognitive radio systems.
