Description

Book Synopsis
Software radio SWR (or software defined radio, SDR), is a radio, whose channel modulation waveforms are defined in software. As a result, the operation of such a radio can be imperceptibly updated or configured by the service provider, automated system or user in the field for another service or application.

Trade Review
"...interesting book, highly relevant for broadcasters...The book is comphrehensive and representative, easy-to-read, and gives a lot of real-life information..." (EBU Technical Review, July 2002)
