Research Talk Report on Wide Instantaneous Bandwidth Receivers for Electronic Surveillance and Cognitive Radio

The Resource person of the research talk was Mr. R Rajeev. He graduated as Electronics & Communication Engineer from Sir MVIT Bengaluru and ME in Signal Processing from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). He is currently working as Scientist 'E' at the Defence Avionics Research Establishment, Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Bengaluru.

The Research Talk focused on the following key points:

• Electronic Warfare (EW) Receivers
• Cognitive Radio Receivers
• Wideband DSP based Receiver Architectures
• RF Sampling ADCs in the market
• Sub-Nyquist Sampling Methods
• Introduction to Compressive Sensing
• Why Compressive Sensing for Wideband Acquisition?
• Compressive Sensing for WSA-Challenges and current research
• Research Areas in Wideband Receivers.
