Abstract
Software radio, software reconfigurable radio, or software defined radio (SDR) is a quite attractive field of research in terms of theoretical cross-over research themes between radio engineering and computer science in academia as well as new multi-standard or all-purpose radio system products in industry. In order to promote research and development in a field of SDR, this tutorial briefly introduces some prospective aspect and research themes on SDR. There are many approaches to research SDR such as architectures, devices, algorithms, description languages, API, secure protocol and authentication for achieving reconfigurability and downloadability in an SDR system. In particular, R&D activities of IEICE technical group on SDR will be introduced in detail including various prototypes of SDR systems, which have been recently implemented in Japan, such as NTT, SONY CSL and so on.

Contents of the tutorial lecture are scheduled as follows.

(1) What is Software Defined Radio: SDR?
(2) Demands and Applications of SDR
(3) R & D Activities on SDR
(4) Core Technologies of SDR
  - Software Radio Receiver
  - Software Radio Transmitter
  - Hardware Circuit Technology for Software Radio
  - Software Radio Platform
(5) Problems and Required Technologies for SDR
(6) Regulation and Standard for SDR: SDR-Forum, FCC, MPHPT (former MPT)


Short Biography of the Speaker(s):

Ryuji Kohno
received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo in 1984. Dr. Kohno is a Professor since 1998 of the Division of Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Yokohama National University. For the Board of Governors of IEEE IT Society he was elected as a member since 2000. Moreover, he was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory during 1995-1998 and an editor of the IEICE(Institute of Electronics, Information, Communications Engineers) Transactions on Communications during 1990-1993. Dr. Kohno has contributed for organizing many international conferences such as the TPC Chairman of the 1999 IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC'99) and so on. He is a general co-chair of IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT2003) June, 2003. Currently he is an associate editor of both the IEEE Transactions on Communications and that on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). He has chaired the IEICE Technical Group on Spread Spectrum Technology during 1995-1998, and that on Intelligent Transport System (ITS) during 1999-2000. At the present, he is the Chairman of the IEICE Technical Group on Software Radio.
