Abstract

A cognitive radio platform for whitespace spectrum in UHF TV band is introduced. The purpose of the CR platform is to evaluate the feasibility of the unlicensed wireless service in the UHF TV band. The platform consists of RF, baseband modem and MAC including spectrum sensing function. The performance of the spectrum sensing function combined with wideband RF IC which is designed for mobile broadcasting service in multiple bands is presented.
