Tribute to Marconi the radio today (and more) is software-defined!
were concluded Friday the celebrations of 100 years since Guglielmo Marconi Nobel. Thanks Bordoni Foundation ! Now that the digitization of the electromagnetic spectrum opens new scenarios of use, I just associate the great Marconi all'irruente down in the field of Software (which ultimately has its roots in one way or another - also - basic idea of \u200b\u200bcarrying and modulating the information riding the wave em). I believe that Marconi would be particularly pleased optimization of "their" spectrum that is now permitted by modern SDR (Software Defined Radio . )
For example, more and more we became convinced today that the various wireless terminals (and mobile) we have-in the different modes, frequencies and application scenarios - in the end could well be reunited in the form of simple hardware devices (SDR platforms) that are always a single "simple" function to receive transmission of bits, with all rules and intelligence programs based on ad hoc, flexible and interchangeable depending on the choice of best communication infrastructure (WLAN, DAB, Satellite, etc..)
And as you can see by this simple block diagram to draw from FLAI (Flexible Air Interface) of a now historic project in the field, the SDR is also designed on the basis of what still has to come .. in terms of new tools for multimedia access (Tomorrow's NEW STANDARD ...).
More recently, just thinking about the DVB-SH (ie the TV on mobile phones directly from heaven), or to something that became true only a few months ago with the arrival of new dedicated satellites in orbit, I well remembered FLAI and its promise of simply also intercept these new opportunities. I'm working with the utmost confidentiality .. ..
But we are always indebted to Marconi concepts of decisive leadership!
