1 DESCRIPTION

Software Defined Radio (SDR), refers to wireless communication in which the transmitter modulation is generated and receiver demodulation recovered by software operating on a computer. To select the desired modulation and demodulation type, configuration programs must be run by microcomputers controlling the transmitter and receiver.
The most significant asset of SDR is versatility. Wireless systems employ protocols that vary from one service to another. Even in the same type of service, for example wireless fax, the

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • Sep te m ber 2004
protocol often differs from country to country. A single SDR set with an all-inclusive software repertoire can be used in any mode, anywhere in the world. Changing the service type, the mode, and/or the modulation protocol involves simply selecting and launching the requisite computer program. A SDR PCIx Host Card is shown in Figure 1.

Software Defined Radio (SDR) allows a single device to adapt to different communications environments and systems by selecting the most appropriate protocol and frequency needed for a link. One device may work with a wireless local area network protocol in the city, and then be reconfigured to work with terrestrial and satellite protocols to deliver broadband applications to rural and remote areas.
SDR works much like desktop computing, where a single hardware platform carries out many functions based on the software applications loaded. SDR uses software to perform radio-signal

processing functions instead of using resistors, capacitors, feedback loops, or application­specific integrat ed cir cu its.
The SDR PCIx host card is installed in a server and cabled to the LRCS remote (radio head) units and the GPS receiver. Power is provided by the server with configuration and software management through the server communications interface. Communications with the network is through the server and associated hardware and software.

3.1 Optical and Electrical Connections

ADCP-75-163SDR • Issue 1 • Septembe r 2004
Optical and electrical connections with the remote unit and GPS are supported by four optical and two electrical por ts. The el ectr ical i nterf ace to the GPS is th rough coa xia l cable connect ion s using two type SubMiniature version A (SMA) female connectors. Single-mode fiber provides the optical connection between the SDR PCIx Host Card and Remote Units. The forward and reverse ports provide the optical communication channel in a non-diversity system. The REV DIV port provides receive optics for a diversity system. Each optical port uses a small form factor LC-type optical transceiver. Modular optical transceivers are field replaceable and available separately.

fibers must be terminated with duplex LC connectors for connection with the SDR card. Remote unit has SC connectors.
The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the optical fiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The system provides an optical budget of 20dB (typical) when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber.
Whenever possible, use conduit or a guideway to route optical fibers between the SDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head) unit. Avoid routing optical fibers through ladder type cable racks or troughs that do not provide sufficient support to limit bending or prevent accidental damage. Tie-wrapping is not recommended as a means of sec uri ng f iber optic cables. Provide sufficient slack at each unit for connecting each fiber to the required port. Fibers may be pre-terminated or terminated on-site using field-installable LC type connectors.

3.3.2 Optical Connections

The optical interface between the SDR PCIx Host card and the remote (radio head) unit is supported by two optic al ports. Each of the SDR PCI x Hos t c ar d optical ports provi des a d uplex LC-type optical transceiver which is mounted on the SDR PCIx Host card front. The remote (radio head) unit has SC connectors.
Note: To insure that all optical connectors and transceivers remain dust-free during installation, leave all dust caps and dust protectors in place until directed to remove them for connection.
The FWD and REV ports provide forward and reverse optical communications channels in a non-diversity system. The REV DIV port provides receive optics for a diversity system See
Ta ble 1 for transceiver port designations. See Figure 3 for port designations.
