ARM boosted startup with Belgian DSP
The EE Times has a nice article on Cognovo.
In November 2009, shortly after ARM (Cambridge, England) said it would close its DSP development operation in Heverlee, Belgium, Cognovo took on approximately half ARM’s Belgian contigent, according to a local report. In addition, ARM provided the vector signal processing IP developed there [...]
Multimode vector radio dismantles barriers to SDR software portability
My friends at Sigmatix and Octoscope have a nice follow-on EE Times article about Vector SDRs. The original article (mentioning Sandbridge) is here.
As an excerpt: To ensure the cost reduction of SDR platforms via economies of scale, software portability across processors must be achieved. The new generation of SDR, called multimode vector radio (MVR), offers that [...]
