Preface
Backin2008,Prof.JariNurmihostedtheInternationalSystem-on-ChipSymposium
inTampere,Finland,withakeyfocusonsoftware-definedradio(SDR)technology.
The symposium was attended by a large audience traveling from different parts
of the world and in particular by Dr. Joseph Mitola who coined the term “the
SDR.” At the end of the conference, the editors felt the absolute need to compile
acomprehensivebookthatparticularlyaddressesthebasebandprocessingengines
forSDR—abookstilllargelyrequiredbymanyinacademiaandindustry.
SDR has revolutionized how we deal with radio electronics today. SDR has
impacted almost every field of life and spawned newer ideas like cognitive and
intelligent radios. It is evident from the many chapters submitted to this book
that software support for signal processing is equally important than the efforts
put in place to increase the transistor density on the chip. The editors gratefully
acknowledge the contributions from all the authors and their patience during the
stringent review process. The editors are thankful for their cooperation and timely
responses.
