Abstract

Spectrum sensing technology is most vital to the implementation of a CR system using dynamic spectrum resource management. This paper suggested a CR system architecture with a wideband dual-stage spectrum sensing technique - a coarse and a fine spectrum sensing. Specifically, the coarse spectrum sensing technique adopted wavelet transforms in this architecture to provide a multi-resolution spectrum sensing (MRSS) feature. Analog implementation of the MRSS block offers wideband, low-power, and real-time operation. From the system simulation results, MRSS achieved 15-, 20-, and 30-dB detection margin for FM, VSB, and OFDM signals, having the corresponding signal power of -110, -120, and -120 dBm, respectively
