European Standardization and SDR Certification

Standardization and certification of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies are closely related. The paper describes the current standardization efforts for SDR technologies in Europe and the related certification processes. The regulatory and technical requirements for the certification of SDR and its components are defined in this paper. The paper presents the study on the development of a European SDR certification procedure through a network approach. Finally, we describe the Waveform Libraries and Issue Tracking System, which are an essential part of the certification process. The output of this study is a comprehensive overview of the SDR standardization and certification landscape.
