Migration from Hardware to Software Radio

Radio is a hardware device which operates in the radio frequency part of electromagnetic spectrum and facilitates communication. There are a variety of standards in commercial use to establish communication through their specific application. Traditional radio devices limit cross functionality and demonstrate minimal flexibility in supporting multiple waveform standards. Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology provides an efficient solution by allowing a multiband, multistandard, multiservice and multichannel system which can be reconfigured for interstandard handover.
