Software radios for highly integrated system architecture

The project aims to establish new design methods and digital signal processing techniques allowing

robust and efficient universal navigation and communication equipment in the fields of aeronautics

and aerospace. New avionic standards are under study and strong arguments exist for the adoption of

software defined radios at this point of time. The project anticipates the integration of multiple

navigation and communication systems in a single hardware element minimizing space, part count,

avionic weight that addresses more directly airspace management needs, thereby reducing

greenhouse gas emission in the framework of international environmental initiatives. The aeronautic

and aerospace industries strive for an approach using a single generic reprogrammable and universal

system allowing replacement of multiple and burdensome radios/antennas presently in use. The

proposed system will permit simultaneous functionalities of multiple systems accommodated on a

flexible integration platform suitable for future applications. The project will consist of: distance

measuring equipment (DME), Mode S transponder and wideband digital radio, including ADS-B, built
