>>At the recent SDR Forum, Texas Instruments Inc., along with its development partners Xilinx, Lyrtech and other third parties, unveiled a small form factor software-defined radio (SDR) development platform. A single integrated environment, it provides the entire signal chain hardware from antenna to baseband as well as software development tools With this kit, developers can easily design waveforms as well as create and test single or multi-protocol radios for applications in military, public safety, commercial, professional mobile radio (PMR) and land mobile radio (LMR) communication systems, including RFID readers. Additionally, as the platform is integrated to work with Simulink model-based design tool, developers have the option to use C/HDL or MATLAB Simulink to quickly test proof-of-concept designs and then optimize the architecture for cost and power. 
Unlike other SDR development offerings in the market, the SDR development platform is a hardware/software co-development environment that supplies the full signal chain for a multi-protocol SDR, including RF front-end module, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog data conversion module and digital processing module. By separating out the baseband, IF, and RF as distinct modules rather than as a single fixed architecture, developers are able to extend their radio development capabilities, as well as optimize for cost and power consumption, by substituting their own or third-party modules. This flexibility is vital, as it gives developers the ability to adjust their products around the industry’s constantly varying requirements, said TI.
