Abstract

A virtual radio frequency test environment is described using an FGPA with dual core ARM processors to implement transmitter and receiver chains in the digital domain and a single chip RF agile transceiver. These components are commercially available on development boards with software and firmware to provide the interface. A driver amplifier and a power amplifier are evaluated in the test set for linearization experiments.

The authors would like to thank the Manhattan College Summer Research Scholars program for supporting this work.
