Description of Invention:
To date, many of the approaches to software-defined radio have primarily focused on baseband features, leaving RF subsystems intact. Some current technologies combine many radio-unique baseband and RF features to realize a multifunctional radio. Such an approach is costly and inefficient in terms of power utilization and weight. Realizing a fully programmable RF front end has remained a challenge, until now.
The invention is a software means for configuring the digital radio processor thereby providing emergency respondents with a multifunction radio with the ability to function in a variety of environments. This invention also provides the capability to convert into cellular telephony thereby leveraging the existing cellular infrastructure. More specifically, the defined software configurability enables the digital radio processor to emulate a P-25 emergency radio while maintaining the capability to convert into a standard digital telephony on demand. This invention empowers emergency respondents with access to a low cost, low power usage and weightless multifunction radio when compared to other competing systems in the market.
