Software Radio and Rapid Prototyping

SDR / USRP software-radio and software-defined radar prototypes

For teams that want to validate waveforms, RF data acquisition, signal-processing algorithms, or operating workflows on a customer-owned USRP or other SDR platform before committing to a custom FPGA or RFSoC implementation.

Typical Customer Problem

An algorithm may work with offline data but still lack an RF loop, repeatable streaming workflow, multichannel synchronization, real-time control, visualization, and measurable system behavior. The challenge is to turn isolated scripts and hardware access into a stable software-radio prototype that other engineers and stakeholders can reproduce.

How We Help

1

Evaluate the available SDR / USRP hardware, RF bandwidth, channel configuration, synchronization method, host connection, and prototype acceptance criteria.

2

Build the acquisition, transmit, control, and streaming workflow with the project-appropriate UHD, GNU Radio, C++, or Python components.

3

Integrate waveforms and processing algorithms with recording, playback, visualization, logs, and repeatable test scenarios.

4

Measure bottlenecks and define a migration path for time-critical functions that should move to FPGA, RFSoC, or a custom radar processing board.

Deliverables

  • SDR / USRP prototype architecture and interface plan
  • Acquisition, transmit, control, recording, and playback software
  • Integrated waveform or signal-processing demonstration
  • Test records, operating guide, bottleneck analysis, and migration recommendations
