Suitability of a Commercial Software Defined Radio System for Passive Coherent Location
Suitability of a Commercial Software Defined Radio System for Passive Coherent Location Aadil Volkwin A dissertation submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Cape Town, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. Cape Town, May 2008 Dedicated to: My Parents, my Sister and my Wife. 2 Declaration I declare that this work done is my own, unaided work. This dissertation is being submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Cape Town, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university. ................................................................................ Signature of Author Cape Town 2008 3 Abstract This dissertation provides a comprehensive discussion around bistatic radar with specific reference to PCL, highlighting existing literature and work, examining the various performance metrics. In particular the performance of commercial FM radio broadcasts as the radar waveform is examined by implementation of the ambiguity function. The FM signals show desirable characteristics in the context of our application, the average range resolution obtained is 5.98km, with range and doppler peak sidelobe levels measured at -25.98dB and -33.14dB respectively. Furthermore, the SDR paradigm and technology is examined, with discussion around the design considerations. The USRP, the TVRx daughterboard and GNURadio are examined further as a potential receiver and development environment, in this light. The system meets the low cost ambitions costing just over US$1000.00 for the USRP motherboard and a single daughterboard. Furthermore it performs well, displaying desirable characteristics, The receiver's frontend provides a bandwidth of 6MHz and a tunable range between 50MHz and 800MHz, with a tuning step size as low as 31.25kHz. -

Besancon France University of Oradea, Romania Abstract—This paper describes the recent trend of front-end receiver systems for the application in radio monitoring. The 650 MHz to 1300 MHz receiver implementation is optimized for applications such as 20 MHz to 650 MHz hunting and detecting unknown signals, identifying interference, Vin =−117 dBm (0.3 μV) ≥10 dB Vin=−47 dBm (1 mV) ≥50 dB spectrum monitoring and clearance, and signal search over wide LSB/USB, IF bandwidth 500 frequency ranges, producing signal content and direction finding Hz, of identified signals. Δf=500 Hz 0.5 MHz to 20 MHz, ≥10 dB Keywords—Receivers, Real time FFT Processing Vin=0.4μV 20 to 30 MHz, Vin= 0.5 μV ≥10 dB I. INTRODUCTION LSB/USB, IF bandwidth The emerging security threats demand an intensive data 2.5kHz, Δf=1kHz gathering for fiber or radio communication [1]. Besides the 0.5 MHz to 20 MHz, ≥10 dB fiber technology, there are varieties of wireless activities, Vin=0.6μV which are typically analyzed by off the air monitoring [2]-[9]. 20 to 30 MHz, Vin= 0.7 μV ≥10 dB The spectral density of signals these days is very high and Vin= 100 μV ≥46 dB therefore such monitoring receivers require high performance. AM, IF Bandwidth 2.5kHz, The technique in designing such receivers is a composition of fmod=1 kHz, m=0.5 0.5 MHz to 20 MHz, ≥10 dB microwave engineering of the building blocks preamplifier, Vin=1μV mixer, synthesizer and necessary filters, this paper describes 20 to 30 MHz, Vin= 1.2 μV ≥10 dB critical aspects of important building blocks of radio Crossmodulation interfering monitoring receives [10]-[20]. -

Access Charges: This is a fee charged by local phone companies for use of their networks. Amplitude Modulation (AM) that's the "AM" Band on your Radio: A signaling method that varies the amplitude of the carrier frequencies to send information. The carrier frequency would be like 910 (kHz) AM on your AM dial. Your radio antenna receives this signal and then decodes it and plays the song. Analog Signal: A signaling method that modifies the frequency by amplifying the strength of the signal or varying the frequency of a radio transmission to convey information. Bandwidth The amount of data passing through a connection over a given time. It is usually measured in bps (bits-per- second) or Mbps. Broadband Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. More services can be provided through broadband in the same way as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time. Broadcast To transmit (a radio or television program) for public or general use. In other words, send out or communicate, especially by radio or television. Cable A strong, large-diameter, heavy steel or fiber rope. The word history of cable derives from Middle English, from Old North French, from Late Latin capulum, lasso, from Latin capere, meaning to seize. Calling Party Pays A billing method in which a wireless phone caller pays only for making calls and not for receiving them. The standard American billing system requires wireless phone customers to pay for all calls made and received on a wireless phone. -

As my grandfather would have said. iii iv Abstract The wireless market is developing very fast today with a steadily increasing num- ber of users all around the world. An increasing number of users and the constant need for higher and higher data rates have led to an increasing number of emerging wireless communication standards. As a result there is a huge demand for flexible and low-cost radio architectures for portable applications. Moving towards multi- standard radio, a high level of integration becomes a necessity and can only be ac- complished by new improved radio architectures and full utilization of technology scaling. Modern nanometer CMOS technologies have the required performance for making high-performance RF circuits together with advanced digital signal processing.
