A Hardware Prototype of a Flexible Spectrum Sensing Node for Smart Sensing Networks

In this paper we present a prototype for a spectrum sensing node for a cognitive radio sensing network. Our prototype consists of a custom down-conversion front-end with an RF input frequency range from 300 MHz to 3 GHz and a Power Spectral Density (PSD) estimation algorithm implemented on a Virtex-...
