Software radio technology now pervades an extensive range of mil-aero applications including radar, EW, communications, SIGINT, ELINT, countermeasures, weapons, missiles, monitoring, navigation, and tracking.
A&DT: What is software radio and how did
it get started?
Hosking: Two critical technologies started
to evolve rapidly in the 1970s. The first is
data conversion technology that gave us
ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) and
DACs (digital-to-analog converters). The
second is digital signal processing device
technology that gave us DSP hardware
chips. These enhanced microprocessors
have dedicated multipliers, look-up tables,
arithmetic units and memories to perform
the necessary operations on sampled signals
to and from DACs and ADCs at a given
sample rate. Since these operations are
controlled by software programs, once these
DSPs and data converters were fast enough
to convert and process radio frequency
signals, the term "software defined radio"
(or now simply "software radio") was
coined.

The VITA Standards Organization (VSO)
has started a "VITA Personas" segment on
their website to highlight some of the people
who contribute to shaping VITA standards.
The VSO recently featured Paul Mesibov,
co-founder and Chief Technical Officer at
Pentek, as one of their VITA Personas.
What follows is taken from the VSO's profile
of Paul.
Paul Mesibov has over 35 years experience
in the electronics industry and oversees
the design and implementation of
Pentek's digital signal processing, software
radio, and data acquisition products. He is
currently an active member of SOSA,
PICMIG, VITA, PCI-SIG, and IEEE, as
well as a key contributor to several ANSI
standards.

PODCAST: SOSA, Tri-Service Demo, AI and signal processing
Open architecture initiatives such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) effort are showing tremendous momentum at the start of 2020, as demonstrated by the turnout and enthusiasm of attendees at the Tri-Services Open Architecture Interoperability Demonstration at the Georgia Tech Research Institute in January.
To listen to a podcast about SOSA, click here. McHale Report editors John McHale and Emma Helfrich, and Pentek's Rodger Hosking, discuss SOSA, TSOA-ID, and artificial intelligence.
