George ∗ , Elizabeth Elias Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut 673601, India a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Software defined radio (SDR) is a platform for using the same hardware to support multiple wireless Received 13 March 2013 communication standards. The channelizer in the SDR is used to separate the channels from the wideband Accepted 28 September 2013 signal. The features required for using the same hardware to switch between different standards are reconfigurability and low complexity. To achieve this, we use a variable bandwidth filter (VBF) with Keywords: facility for the reduction and enhancement of the bandwidth, without changing the filter coefficients. Variable bandwidth filter This paper proposes an optimal and multiplier-less implementation of a baseband channel filter for Software defined radio supporting the bandwidth requirements of various wireless communication standards.
