Spectra Quick Start SCA Development and Test Package

description

This presentation introduces the Spectra Quick Start Software Defined Radio (SDR) Software Communications Architecture (SCA) Development and Test Package. Spectra Quick Start packages the Spectra DTP4700 (the most complete, fully integrated, COTS SCA development and test platform on the market) and Spectra CX (the industry leading, standards-based, tool for model-driven SCA software development) with a reference waveform to provide an out-of-the-box SCA application development environment.
