What is Software Radio

Chapter 253
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Second Edition
The term software radio generally refers to a radio that derives its flexibility through software while using the same piece of hardware, that is, the same piece of hardware can perform different functions at different times. In that way a completely reconfigurable physical hardware is obtained by programming in software.

Abstract
Digital signal processing (DSP) is an area of science and engineering that has been rapidly developed over the past years. This rapid development is a result of significant advances in digital computers technology and integrated circuits fabrication (Mitra, 2005; Smith, 2002). Classical digital signal processing structures belong to the class of single-rate systems since the sampling rates at all points of the system are the same. The process of converting a signal from a given rate to a different rate is called sampling rate conversion. Systems that employ multiple sampling rates in the processing of digital signals are called multirate digital signal processing systems. Sample rate conversion is one of the main operations in a multirate system (Harris, 2004; Stearns, 2002).
