Abstract :
The application of cognitive radio (CR) techniques to enable efficient utilization of spectrum is an area of growing interest. In this paper we describe the design and the functionality of a hardware CR prototype board aimed at providing a low cost mass production solution for networked cognitive radios. The CR prototype enables the development and investigation of spectrally efficient waveforms tailored for operation in the military 225-400 MHz VHF/UHF bands, in the presence of interference.
