Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW)
The SRW was developed as a next generation communication network for military applications. It is currently being implemented as one of the key waveforms for the government's JTRS program. SRW is one of the most capable waveforms in the military inventory for handling stressing ground radio environments. TrellisWare designed, built and integrated the advanced processing of the high data rate Combat Communications (CC) as an FPGA core for integration in SDR platforms.
Derived initially from concepts sponsored by the Army Research Lab (ARL) on an award-winning SBIR, TrellisWare's SRW implementation draws on a unique technology base (e.g., PSP, AID and complexity reduction techniques) to provide a variable QOS IP link operating at rates up to a few Mbps within strict UHF spectral masks. Innovative maximum likelihood processing techniques enhance performance in high dynamics and in challenging multipath environments.
TrellisWare has supported integration, porting and repartitioning of the SRW FPGA core onto numerous SDR platforms for a wide range of customers, including the SLICE radio and current support for the JTRS HMS platform(s). Solutions are available for a variety of FPGAs from both Altera and Xylinx, and TrellisWare can quickly customize the interfaces, control and partitioning to fit new FPGA and networking interfaces at substantially reduced complexity.
