A software defined radio architecture model to develop radio modem component classifications

We present an architecture for organizing the programmable sub-systems necessary to configure and operate software defined radio modems. To aid in the architectural organization a classification system for modem components is developed. The architecture also addresses the organization of software components registered within the system. Library modules are developed to aid in the component management and organization. The architectural model addresses the of life-cycle issues of managing, configuring and operating programmable radio components
