RapidRadio: A Domain-Specific Productivity Enhancing Framework

Abstract

The RapidRadio framework for signalclassification and receiver deployment is discussed. The frameworkis a productivity enhancing tool that reduces the requiredknowledge-base for implementing a receiver on an FPGA-basedSDR platform. The ultimate objective of this framework is toidentify unknown signals and to build FPGA-based receiverscapable of receiving them. The architecture of the receiverdeployed by the framework and its implementation are discussed.The framework's capacity to classify a signal and deploy afunctional receiver is validated with over-the-air experiments.
