Abstract:
The policy of fixed spectrum makes spectrum utilization efficient more difficult, through which maximum portion of primary spectrum was unutilized. The new innovation in communication technology called cognitive radio can use the primary (licensed) spectrum more efficiently and in flexible manner. It has ability to continuously change its working conditions according to fundamental interactions with radio environment surrounding it. The adaptation with environment is performed with the help of Spectrum Sensing Techniques. In this project, the implementation of three spectrum sensing techniques of Cognitive Radio is performed on MATLAB. Moreover, a prototype for the calculation of Interference Temperature is also presented on Spartan 3 FPGAs using Verilog
