Application notes
DeepSIG - Product Overview
Epiq is well known for providing the smallest, high performance software defined radios (SDRs) available, with wide deployment in difficult RF environments. Epiq SDRs marry extremely well with processing engines such as those provided by DeepSig, which utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to enable new levels of signal identification and direction finding capabilities.
DeepSIG DSP vs AI
For as long as adversaries have been using the radio frequency spectrum for communications, there has been a desire by the other side to use them for intelligence gathering. Signal acquisition and processing is evolving rapidly with the advent of ever more powerful edge processing and artificial intelligence (AI). This brief overview compares the latest approaches from Epiq and DeepSig to the conventional approaches they are replacing.
DeepSIG Training & Deployment
One key challenge highlighted by recent global events is the need for rapid adaptability in theater. With signals intelligence (SIGINT) continuing to play a crucial role in most conflicts, adaptability is crucial here, too. Unfortunately identifying new signals and updating platforms accordingly has been painfully slow. This is finally changing with the latest innovations in AI-enabled applications from DeepSig.
DeepSIG Trends
More data has to be better, surely? Modern militaries live and die by the RF signals that they use. Digital radios used in defense are huge beneficiaries of the technology investments being made in civilian 5G wireless, a considerably bigger user of such devices. This is making semiconductor parts available that have digital modulation bandwidths, resolutions and numbers of channels that vastly increase spectrum visibility. This exponential growth in the creation of digitized data is outpacing the ability of processing devices to do anything with the data. Figure 1 illustrates how manpower to analyze data is not scaling at the same rate as the quantity of data, creating a big gap. To add to the pressure, adversary signals are also growing in numbers and complexity.
High Performance SDRs IP3 Specmanship
Third Order Intercept Point (TOI or IP3) is a measure of how well an RF component or system can maintain linearity and performance under strong signal conditions. While it is an important parameter in almost any receiver, it becomes crucial in those designed to handle the weakest signals in the presence of the strongest interferers, such as the high end systems that Epiq designs for. This measurement therefore becomes a parameter that systems such as software defined radios (SDRs) live or die by when suppliers are being selected for military programs. Because the temptations to game the system are so strong, we wanted to put a stake in the ground on how we measure IP3, and why we try to make measurements that will be faithful to real-world use. Note that we’re assuming you, as the reader, are already familiar with how IP3 measurements are made - if not, one of many good tutorials can be found on YouTube here.
High-Performance SDR Architecture and Applications Comparison
A key attribute of Software Defined Radios (SDRs) is their flexibility, which allows them to be applied to a wide range of different applications. The advent of highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) semiconductor devices increase the design options available but are only one part of the successful implementation of an SDR to a specific application. This note looks at a couple of defense applications that place very different priorities onto the SDR. One places the biggest emphasis on outright RF performance and throughput. The other prioritizes size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) above everything else, enabling RF capabilities to be squeezed onto platforms that have either never been able to fit it on at all, or certainly not with the capabilities now available. In both cases the objective is to provide the end user with as much situational awareness as possible. The two examples are shown in Figure 1. High performance platforms are often airborne, but can also be land or seabased. Low-SWaP platforms can be unmanned systems, man-packs or similar.
High-Performance SDR Design Considerations
A common use-case for the highest performance Software Defined Radios (SDRs) is airborne situational awareness. As the spectrum gets increasingly crowded, and adversaries more capable, the task of examining wide bands, making sense of it all while not missing anything gets harder. As with any engineering challenge, making the right trade-offs is crucial, and this short note looks at some of the relevant ones.
SDR Architecture Comparison
We’ve written elsewhere1 about how UxS (Unmanned Systems) power budgeting is like squeezing a balloon between the required frequency range, RF performance, number of channels and processing, which all have a big impact on power consumption, heat dissipation, and ultimately achievable range. Our business primarily focuses on smaller platforms where the constraints are at their most extreme. We are technology agnostic, but having such a clear focus guides the choices and tradeoffs we make in our designs. This short note describes some of these.
Squeezing the Balloon: Effective SDR Power Budgeting to Maximize UxS Range & Cap
Software Defined Radios (SDRs) are the Swiss army knives of spectrum battlefield situational awareness. Their uses range from satellite communications (SATCOM) and signals intelligence (SIGINT), to direction finding (DF), radar, jamming and many more besides. Even small drones are upgrading capabilities from only visible spectrum cameras to much more advanced capabilities using SDRs.
UAS Trends
Recent conflicts have accelerated trends that were already underway in the Unmanned Aerial System(UAS) market. Figure 1 shows a variety of different attributes that illustrate changes in the military market. The first three relate to differences over time worldwide, with an increasing number of countries able to deploy drones, a predicted 40% increase in spending, and a rapidly growing number of patents being issued as interest in this sector is reflected in innovation (graphs a through c).
UxS Challenges, EPIQ Solutions
Expectations on UxS suppliers to innovate and evolve their platforms quickly, and to ramp to volume faster are getting higher and higher. The addition of spectral monitoring to even small platforms dramatically increases situational awareness, enabled by small and flexible Software Defined Radios (SDRs). For design teams, a frequent issue is the ‘make vs. buy’ decision for the SDR, and whether the project can afford the time or engineering bandwidth to make every piece in-house. As a leading supplier of Small Form Factor (SFF) and open architecture SDRs, Epiq obviously has strong opinions on this topic
UxS Payload Form Factors
Unmanned systems (UxS) come in many shapes and sizes, whether airborne, in the water, or land-based. Most count as SWaP-constrained systems, with care needed in design to properly budget for power, weight and available payload volumes. Other notes in this series have discussed the challenges of power budgeting for SDRs, and RF architectures that optimize SWaP. We often have less choice in the form factors we need to fit into, as these are usually set by the larger system, and the customer question will be “I have this form factor, what can you do in it?”.
Building and Verifying SOSA-Aligned Phase-Coherent RF Systems with Sidekiq X4
What is Phase-Coherent Operation and Why is it Important? At Epiq Solutions, our focus is on developing tools that provide situational awareness and detailed insight into RF environments so you can identify and take action against wireless threats. For these applications, it’s often not good enough to just identify RF signals of interest; we want to know where they’re coming from as well. Ideally, a line of bearing (LOB) can be provided to indicate the direction of an RF signal of interest relative to the receiver. Multiple techniques exist to provide a LOB, and phase-coherent RF reception is a key capability to support this use case.
Which RF Architecture Should I Choose
Software Defined Radios (SDRs) have become ubiquitous in applications that value their flexibility, reconfigurability, spectrum agility and upgradability. These include defense, public safety, wireless infrastructure, space, SATCOM, test and measurement to name a few. However, there are several common methods of implementing SDR architectures – how do you know which is best to meet a specific need?
