== Agenda / Details ==
The talk will give an overview of a new generation of SDR platform,
Hydra,developed by BBN technologies. The prototype units are available
to the research community. This hardware platform fully embraces the
cell phone paradigm for the handheld communications community while
supporting the need for a multi-transceiver research/development
platform. The device is designed to use the latest COTS hardware
components and has a cost target well below the current generation of
“specialized” hardware. Some research areas to explore using this
platform include Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), Simultaneous Send and
Receive (STAR), direction finding (DF) and Geolocation.
