Enhancing the Productivity of Radio Designers with RapidRadio

In this paper the RapidRadio framework for signal classification and receiver deployment is discussed. The framework is a productivity enhancing tool that reduces the required knowledge-base for implementing a receiver on an FPGA-based SDR platform. The ultimate objective of this framework is to identify unknown signals and to build FPGA-based receivers capable of receiving them. The framework's capacity to classify a signal and deploy a functional receiver is validated with over- the-air experiments.
