Abstract

In this paper, a new software defined radio platform with direct conversionisintroduced.The platform is named SOPRANO, which stands for Software Programmableand Hardware Reconfigurable Architecture for Network.Main features of SOPRANO include a high-level design methodologyfor digital circuits, direct conversion based on six-port technology, andnovel digital signal processingalgorithms for multi-band and multi-mode operation.The first prototype of the SOPRANO platform has been built and was ableto receive M-ary PSK (Phase Shift Keying)and QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) signals,with two different carrier frequencies at 2.45 GHz and 5.25 GHz,by changing signal-processing software.
