Software defined radio (SDR) moves signal processing from analog hardware to digital software. An SDR receiver can consist simply of an antenna connected to an analog-to-digital converter, with all filtering and detection done digitally. Common types of SDR include inexpensive RTL-SDR devices using DVB-T TV tuners and more full-featured commercial SDR that can handle multiple bands and transmit. SDR requires software to function since processing, filtering and control are performed in software. SDR apps allow similar functionality on smartphones that support USB-OTG connections to SDR devices.
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communications system that uses software to replace conventional radio hardware, allowing it to be reprogrammed for different frequency bands and standards. The global SDR market is expected to grow from $26.49 billion in 2014 to $13.87 billion in 2020, representing an 11.39% compound annual growth rate. North America currently makes up 26.5% of the SDR market, while military applications account for $694 million in revenue in 2014 growing to $1.32 billion by 2020.
This document discusses software defined radio (SDR) technology. It begins with an overview of radio technology and terms. It then discusses SDR, explaining that it implements components like mixers, filters, and modulators/demodulators through software instead of hardware. Examples of low-cost SDR devices like the RLT-SDR are provided. The document concludes with a demonstration of listening to signals like FM radio, airplanes, satellites, and wireless networks using SDR software and devices.

Software defined radio uses software to control radio functions like modulation and demodulation rather than using dedicated hardware components. It allows a software radio to function as different types of radios through software changes alone. This reduces costs compared to hardware radios and makes radios more flexible and upgradable. Software defined radios achieve this by sampling radio signals digitally and performing signal processing using software on a general purpose processor or computer rather than dedicated circuits.
Hardware Accelerated Software Defined Radio Tarik Kazaz
Advanced 5G wireless infrastructure should support any-to-any connectivity between densely arranged smart objects that form the emerging paradigm known as the Internet of Everything (IoE). While traditional wireless networks enable communication between devices using a single technology, 5G networks will need to support seamless connectivity between heterogeneous wireless objects, and consequently enable the proliferation of IoE networks. To tackle the complexity and versatility of the future IoE networks, 5G has to guarantee optimal usage of both spectrum and energy resources and further support technology-agnostic connectivity between objects. This can be realized by combining intelligent network control with adaptive software-defined air interfaces. In order to achieve this, current radio technology paradigms like Cloud RAN and Software Defined Radio (SDR) utilize centralized baseband signal processing mainly performed in software. With traditional SDR platforms, composed of separate radio and host commodity computer units, computationally-intensive signal processing algorithms and high-throughput connectivity between processing units are hard to realize. In addition, significant power consumption and large form factor may preclude any real-life deployment of such systems. On the other hand, modern hybrid FPGA technology tightly couples a FPGA fabric with hard core CPU on a single chip. This provides opportunities for implementing air interfaces based on hardware/software co-processing, resulting in increased processing throughput, reduced form factor and power consumption, while at the same time preserving flexibility. This paper examines how hybrid FPGAs can be combined with novel ideas such as RF Network-on-Chip (RFNoC) and partial reconfiguration, to form a flexible and compact platform for implementing low-power adaptive air interfaces. The proposed platform merges software and hardware processing units of SDR systems on a single chip. Therefore, it can provide interfaces for on-the-fly composition and reconfiguration of software and hardware radio modules. The resulting system enables the abstraction of air interfaces, where each access technology is composed of a structured sequence of modular radio processing units.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
