The sandbridge SB3011 SDR platform

This paper describes the Sandbridge Sandblaster real-time software defined radio platform. Specifically we describe the SB301I system on a chip multiprocessor. We describe the software development system that enables real-time execution of communications and multimedia applications. We provide results for a number of interesting communications and multimedia systems including UMTS, DVB-H, WiMAX, WiFi, and NTSC video decoding. All results presented are from completely implemented systems from RF through baseband
