SDR PLATFORM

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO

providing widest range of possibilities of support-ed WFs is RF block working in range 20 – 520 MHz. The other two, with narrowed bands, are target-ed to lower product price and higher efficiency of work with one accumulator.

Dedicated solutions and functionalityOne possibility of choose is realization of DPB module dedicated in particular for implementa-tion of WFs and selected services of target radio. Depending from the need it is possible to choose between proposed solutions, which differ i.e. available computing power or purpose. The DPB module may also be designed in cooperation with the customer, e.g. for realizing functionality of par-ticular WF.

Due to wide choice of products offered by RAD-MOR S.A., it is possible to compromise between lower cost of device and higher flexibility that al-lows use of more complicated WFs, both currently available and those that will be developed in the future. The biggest advantage of the solution is ability to prepare dedicated DPB, that is compat-ible with detailed customer requirements. Use of DPB module developed that way makes possible to fit up the device with waveforms or encryption mechanisms that are unknown and unavailable for manufacturer.

In the year 2000 RADMOR S.A. as first company in Poland started elaboration of software defined radio (SDR) with ambitious goal to develop hand-held radio of this type. At the beginning of current century the technology of digital signal processing was in its infancy. Low quality of FPGA software compilators, necessity of using of digital signal processor assemblers, and low efficiency of gener-al purpose processors (GPP) were among the many problems faced by engineers. Nevertheless, after a couple of years of work, for the first time at the International Defense Industry Exhibition MSPO in Kielce, we presented wideband 3505 SDR radio, winning for it the DEFENDER award.Each of currently presented devices, that provide tactical radio communication, meets the definition of SDR. However, not every manufacturer can take an advantage of the technology of changing radio functionality only by changing its software.

Nowadays RADMOR S.A brings to market the fam-ily of COMP@N radios, characterized by versatility, flexibility and ease of adapting the functionality to the requirements of final customer, that were un-precedented on the market until now. The family of the COMP@N radios was developed thanks to years of experience in realizing many research and development projects – within RADMOR S.A., and of national and international range (e. g. ESSOR).

TRUE SDR philosophyThe latest spectrum of products – the family of COMP@N software defined radios – meets re-quirements of the customer, that wants a radio with dynamically changeable functionality accord-ing to specificity of situation and circumstances of usage. Range of functionality of our products is defined by the software. Thereby the user decides whether it will be the device with basic function-alities (e. g. voice transmission broadcast), or with more complex mechanisms (e.g. MANET radio), or with all available functions.Within the family of COMP@N radios it is possi-ble to choose between different waveforms (WF), range of supported frequencies and solutions of Digital Processing Block (DPB). Currently available functionalities are shown in the table. However, this list is not closed, and our engineers still work on implementation of new WFs, and improve the already existing ones.In case of supported frequencies there are three possible ranges to choose. The most universal and

Transmitter: ■ output power: programmable, max. 5 W■ harmonic suppression > 50 dBc ■ frequency stability ± 1 ppm

Receiver:■ sensitivity - 116 dBm (SINAD 20 dB)■ adjacent - channel selectivity > 50 dB ■ noise rejection (tone, noise level)

Enviromental parameters: ■ temperature range: -32°C do +55°C■ watertightness: 1 m under water for 2 hours.

(MIL-STD-810G)■ test method: MIL-STD-810F■ EMC MIL-STD-461F■ defence standards: NO-06-A500, NO-58-A213,

NO-06-A103, NO-06-A107, NO-06-A200

The family of COMP@N radiosWithin the COMP@N family, RADMOR S.A. cur-rently offers radios COMP@N H07, COMP@N H08 and COMP@N H09. However, they are not only configurations of COMP@N Platform, but rather

suggestions targeted on specific use. First of all, they differ in main WFs used, that specify purpose of the radio. On customer’s request, one product may be easily fit up with many WFs, what will ex-pand its capabilities and diversity of use cases.

COMP@N H07 - digital voice and dataH07 version is applied as handheld SDR for soldiers and support for stationary installation or wheeled vehicles. Dedicated for voice communication, including: tactical short-range VHF and UHF communication for ground forces; tactical short-range VHF communication for air force; communication with civilian services that use ra-dio channels and types of modulation available in the radio. Available functions: analog voice transmission on fixed frequency; digital voice transmission on fixed frequency and with frequency hopping (100 hops/s); voice encryption; GPS position (embedded GPS receiver); creating of retransmission sets.

COMP@N H08 – EPM waveformThis radio implements i.a. waveform W2FH that allows simultaneous transmission of voice and data (from serial port, GPS, Situation Awareness). W2HF has mechanisms of synchronization, that don’t need to use GNSS (e. g. GPS).W2FH – narrowband EPM (Electronic Protective Measures) waveform, capable to transmit high se-cured transmission of voice and data in frequency hopping mode, which ensures the functionality of LPD (Low Probability of Detection), LPI (Low Proba-bility of Interception) and AJ (Anti-Jamming).

COMP@N H09 - BMS IP (NBWF)This radio implements i. a. BMS IP waveform that allows integration of the radio station with IP net-works, simultaneous transmission of voice and data (IP data, data from sensors, transparent data transmission from serial port, GPS data, Situation Awareness, increased ranges of voice and data services – multihopp relay).BMS IP – narrowband MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network) waveform , capable to transmit digital voice (e.g. MELPe), IP data, Situation Awareness, GPS position and other information required in the BMS systems (Battlefield Management System)

Common hardware platform for COMP@N radio family

Current requirements of the modern battlefield, with all limitations, or even a lack of available radio resourc-es, determine the need to use various types of radios working with many types of waveforms (WF). Fulfilling of these expectations is a challenge that can only be achieved by a radio communication system, for which the main goal is to provide a comprehensive implemen-tation of user’s services while taking into account the limitations of the planning spectrum.

Basing on our experience and the information collected from the end users (in the form of specific operational scenarios), there have been defined basic requirements for a modern system of a tactical radio communica-tions.

Main services:■ data services

• IP data• Serial Data• sensor data• data for BMS systems→ Situation Awareness /

GPS■ voice services

• analog voice• digital voice (which suports the flat and vertical

structure)■ management services

• remote (e.g. SNMP v3)• local (e.g. HMI, Fillgun)

Security mechanisms:■TRANSEC (TRAansmission SECurity)■COMSEC (COMmunication SECurity) - internal and

external (e.g. SCIP STANAG 5068)■NETSEC (NETwork SECurity)

Radios:■handheld■vehicular■manpack

Capability to integrate with existing infrastructure elements:■other radios■other terminal devices (e.g. user terminal)■vehicle infrastructure■wired infrastructure (e.g. LAN)■„civilian” radio infrastructure (e.g. GSM, LTE, TETRA,

DMR)

COMP@N family radios provide a comprehensive se-curity in the range of TRANSEC, NETSEC and COMSEC mechanisms based on AES-256 algorithms and addi-tional usage of SCIP technology (STANAG 5068).

Effective extension of narrowband systemThe flexibility of the system allows for its cooperation with other currently use and future radios and commu-nication systems. In such manner the core of the sys-tem is being complemented with additional services and possible operational scenarios.

RADMOR S.A. is constantly working on a comprehen-sive development of the system, enriching the func-tionalities of its individual components and developing new ones.

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO

True SDR (Software Defined Radio) philosophy vs. dedicated solutionsAccording to the philosophy of software defined radios (SDR), change in device’s functionality en-sues from change of software. In this case, ar-chitecture of radio should guarantee maximum flexibility of using its components, wide range of working frequency, and high computing perfor-mance. All of these features have been realized by RADMOR S.A. as COMP@N radios family.

But what solution should be applied when future radio station user will require specific functionali-ty, when security aspects are essential as well as capability of implementing personal solutions in this matter, or when the user wants to keep in con-fidence mechanisms used in the waveform, realiz-ing its functionality by himself?

Model I: „Precise your requirements and let us work.”The customer delivers to RADMOR S.A. his individ-ual, specific requirements, which are then defined precisely. Based on them, RADMOR S.A. develops (if necessary) dedicated DPB (Digital Processing Block), which is able to process data in required way. As a result a dedicated waveform (WF) is de-veloped, that performs functionality of the radio required by the customer, and fulfilled expected requirements.

Model II: „Do you have an idea that needs pre-cising? We invite you to cooperation.”The customer participates in development of radio functionalities during all the time of elaboration. Future user of COMP@N radios may wish to imple-ment specific functionality, that existed so far as:■ theoretical study■ computer simulation■ national WF used in another device (e.g. Legacy

WFs used in old hardware park)

Having regard to proper data security, and own-ership rights, RADMOR S.A. is able to functionally adjust the radio station to the customer require-ments.

Model III: „Do you have ready solution? We are ready to implement it in our device!”The customer develops hardware/software blocks independently, according to guidelines from RAD-MOR S.A., with regard to interfaces of the radio available for the block, and space available inside the radio. The COMP@N radio is fit up with WF that is based on dedicated digital processing block (DPB). The customer doesn’t have to share any information about type and kind of implement-ed WF, used hardware and software solutions, or cryptographic mechanisms used in the block. This issue may be particularly important in case of COMP@N radio working with WFs that are pro-tected property of military forces of given country.

Using the architecture and modular construction of COMP@N, RADMOR S.A. is able to meet most customer requirements for radio functionality. By providing the customer with product that is com-plete in every aspect, RADMOR S.A. allows him to work simultaneously with other WFs available.
