Accelerating 5G Product Development by Using a COTS-Based SDR System for the Development Platformby Bob Muro, Application Specialist, PentekCommercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software Defined Radio (SDR) products have been traditionally used for military radar and communication applications because of their high performance and design flexibility. The latest SDR products offer solutions with integrated I/O, ARM processors, and large FPGAs that include intellectual property (IP) for accessing, routing, and processing digital data. Combining these attributes with superior signal integrity, phase-coherent sampling, and multi-channel transceivers, a COTS SDR system is an ideal choice for your 5G development platform. This article is designed to familiarize a new user about Software Defined Radio in a multi-purpose COTS platform that can reduce the time-to-market of your 5G products.
