The Xenotran Corporation and PrismTech Solutions Americas Inc. (PSA) (the Team) along with the U.S. Government proposes to design and develop a comprehensive Software Defined Radio (SDR) tool suite to aid in the development, porting, integration, debugging and analysis of waveform software. This tool suite is comprised of two tools, a Core Framework (CF) Analysis Tool and a SDR Diagnostic Tool. The purpose of the CF Analysis Tool is to assist SDR waveform and platform developers (as well as those responsible for certification of SDRs) in the evaluation and quantification of waveform performance, waveform software porting risks, integration characteristics and risk impacts associated with the interaction of waveform software, radio platform services and devices, and CF. The SDR Diagnostic Tool characterizes waveform performance data and standards compliance and provides run-time analysis, monitoring and debugging support for both waveform and platform software executing on a target radio system. Initially, the tool suite targets the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Software Communications Architecture (SCA) and will be designed to accommodate emerging and future SDR standards (e.g. the Object Management Groups (OMG) SW Radio standard).
