Abstract
In this paper, the proposed architecture uses mod- ulated wideband converter as a receiver for the cognitive radio. Although the modulated wideband converter needs more hardware components, its rate is far below the Nyquist rate. It implies that is cheaper than the Nyquist rate components, and it is easy to implement. However, the reconstruction procedure is computationally complex in conventional modulated wideband converter, because it interpolates the reconstructive signal to Nyquist rate. In order to reduce computational complexity, the signal is not reconstruct completely. Nevertheless, the main purpose of the proposed architecture is to do spectrum sensing, the low rate signal is included the narrow band information. Based on the property of discrete Fourier transform, the fast Fourier transform processor is replaced by summation procedure. The spectrum sensing system can reduce computational loads by 93.3% compared to adaptive multitaper spectral detector with Nyquist rate sampling.
