Abstract | We demonstrate a reconfigurable engine for multipurpose spectrum sensing within the cost and power constraints of mobile devices. The analog part builds up on the Scaldio reconfigurable analog front-end. The digital part is an innovative Digital Front-end for Sensing capable of performing a range of sensing algorithms, which has now been fully implemented as a chip. These components are integrated within one hardware setup, enabling real-time validation of the sensing engine. The setup is validated for DVB-T and LTE, two important candidates for future DySPAN networks, as well as for very fast spectrum sweeping. |
