Résumé
Software defined radio (SDR) is one of the most important topics of research, and indeed development, in the area of mobile and personal communication. SDR is viewed as an enabler of global roaming and as a unique platform for the rapid introduction of new services into existing live networks. It therefore promises mobile communication networks a major increase in flexibility and capability. SDR brings together two key technologies of the last decade - digital radio and downloadable software. It encompasses not only reconfiguration of the air interface parameters of handset and basestation products but also the whole mobile network, to facilitate the dynamic introduction of new functionality and mass-customised applications to the user's terminal,post-purchase.
In particular it explores :- the unique demands of SDR upon the RF subsystem and their implications for front end design methodologies
- the recent concepts of the 'digital front end' and 'parametrization'
- the role and key influence of data conversion technologies and devices within software radio, essential to robust product design
- the evolution of signal processing technologies, describing new architectural approaches
- management of terminal reconfiguration and its network implications
- the concepts of the waveform description language
- potential breakthrough technologies, such as superconducting RSFQ technology and the possible future role of MEMS in RF circuitry
- competing approaches, eg all-software radios implemented on commodity computing vs advanced processing architectures that dynamically optimise their configuration to match the algorithm requirements at a point in time
Suitable for today's engineers, technical staff and researchers within the wireless industry, the book will also appeal to marketing and commercial managers who need to understand the basics and potential of the technology for future product development. Its balance of industrial and academic contributors also makes it suitable as a text for graduate and postgraduate courses aiming to prepare the next generation of wireless engineers.
Contributed by internationally respected industry practitioners and researchers this book provides a holistic treatement of SDR addressing the full breadth of relevant technologies - radio frequqncy design, data conversion, reconfigurable signal processing hardware, and software issues at all levelsof the protocol stack and network. As such it provides a solid grounding for a new generation of wireless engineers for whom radio design in the future will assume dynamic flexibility as a given.

L'auteur - Walter Tuttlebee
Walter Tuttlebee graduated from the University of Southampton with a BSc in Electronics in 1974. Following PhD studies and postdoctoral research he joined Roke Manor Research in 1979, where he contributed to and led feasibility studies, project definition studies and development teams on several successful radio communication systems.
During the 1980's, as a Chief Engineer within the Radio Communications Division, Walter was responsible for a wide range of R&D, with particular interests in the field of Personal Communications. He presented many invited papers at conferences on this theme, as well undertaking consultancy assignments for the European Commission and for telecommunications operators. Walter has overseen Roke Manor's ongoing work on UMTS in the European Commission's RACE and ACTS programmes. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE (SMIEEE) and a Fellow of the IEE (FIEE).
In 1992 Walter graduated with an MBA degree (Masters in Business Administration) from the Cranfield School of Management, Bedford, UK in 1992. Reflecting this, his role has evolved to one of technology and business development for the growing Radio Communications Business Unit at Roke Manor, in which role he has in recent years pioneered new initiatives in Digital Broadcasting and in Satellite Communications. His ongoing technical interests are reflected in consultancy work which he still undertakes for clients, alongside his business development activities.
Walter is widely known in the wireless telecommunications industry. His first book "Cordless Telecommunications in Europe" was published in 1990 and his new one "Cordless Telecommunications Worldwide" in December 1996. He has chaired several industry conferences, including the annual DECT world congresses organised by IBC, the latest being DECT '98 in Barcelona, January 1998. He also is a frequent invited speaker at industry conferences on themes associated with digital multimedia telecommunications and broadcasting. He will be speaking on the theme of "European Developments in Software Radio" at the Software Radio Workshop organised by the European Commission and the MMITS Forum in Rhodes, June 1998.
