Abstract

There is a need to design of RF Up/Down- converter for (from C/Ku to/from L band) signals required for several applications. The proposed work presents a design of an RF Up/Down Converter that makes use of GNU Radio and Software-Defined Radios (SDRs). The converter helps in frequency translation between the C/Ku and L bands, leading to a cost-effective and versatile solution for RF signal processing. By using open-source GNU Radio software, the proposed system enhances accessibility, enabling its deployment in diverse applications, from satellite communication to radar systems. The converter’s unique features include real-time processing capabilities, customization through an intuitive graphical interface, and Python scripting. This idea presents the design considerations, signal processing techniques, and performance evaluation of the RF Up/Down Converter. The advantages of an open-source solution over other available alternatives are in terms of cost, flexibility, and rapid prototyping. Simulation and hardware results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed work.
