Software Defined Radio ? The Software Communications Architecture : Wiley?Blackwell : 9780470865187 : 0470865180 : 16 Mar 2007 : The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) establishes an implementation-independent framework for the development of Joint Tactical Radio System software configurable radios. It specifies the Operating Environment, services and interfaces that applications use. Software Defined Radio: The Software Communications Architecture focuses on the issues and benefits associated with developing a radio system in compliance with the SCA specification. This book provides a comprehensive, practical introduction to building a SCA-compliant system taking the reader through the historical and conceptual background to help filling in the gaps between the intent of the SCA specification and the practice. Key features: Presents a practical approach to the Software Communications Architecture Provides an example-oriented understanding of the usage of the SCA and thus al
