A low-power DSP core-based software radio architecture.

This paper describes an approach to developing a low-power digital signal processor (DSP) subsystem architecture for advanced software radio platforms. The architecture is intended to support next-generation wide-band spread-spectrum military waveforms. The methodology illustrates how a next-generat...
