Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that conventionally have been implemented in analog hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a computer or embedded system. [1]
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components, that have been traditionally implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system.

English: Block diagram of a single conversion superheterodyne radio receiver. Invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1918 during World War 1, the superheterodyne is the design used in almost all modern radio receivers.
The incoming radio frequency (RF) signal from the antenna is first mixed with a sinusoidal signal from the 1st local oscillator (LO) to give a high 1st IF frequency. Since the separation between the RF and the image frequency is twice the 1st IF, this high IF results in wide separation between the RF and the image, allowing the image filter in ...
Block diagram of a superheterodyne receiver. The RF front end consists of the components on the left colored red. In a radio receiver circuit, the RF front end, short for radio frequency front end, is a generic term for all the circuitry between a receiver's antenna input up to and including the mixer stage. [1]
A 5-tube superheterodyne receiver manufactured by Toshiba circa 1955 Superheterodyne transistor radio circuit circa 1975. A superheterodyne receiver, often shortened to superhet, is a type of radio receiver that uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency.
There are two types of transmitters. In some transmitters, the baseband information signal (audio (AF), video (VF) etc.) modulates the radio frequency (RF) signal. These direct modulation transmitters are relatively simple. In the more complicated superheterodyne transmitter, the baseband signal modulates an intermediate frequency (IF) signal.
The SCA is published by the Joint Tactical Networking Center (JTNC). This architecture was developed to assist in the development of Software Defined Radio (SDR) communication systems, capturing the benefits of recent technology advances which are expected to greatly enhance interoperability of communication systems and reduce development and deployment costs.
