Description

The SDR Standard Transceiver Facility provides a unique Transceiver API for SDR Applications to access the Transceiver sub-system, supporting portability of SDR Applications and hospitality of SDR Platforms at the core of radio base-band processing. Since its initial V1.0 promulgation in 2009 and its evolution to V2.1 in 2022, an increasing use of the specification has been reported in many contexts with several organizations requesting a companion specification that identifies the conformance criteria for a Transceiver Facility implementation.

The key objective of this project is to develop a Transceiver Facility Verification Plan that addresses at minimum the following topics:

• provide descriptions of
  • the evaluation motivation
  • the verification approach
• describe the evaluation configurations related to transceiver verification (RF-specific equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers or signal generators);
• identify all relevant elements of WINNF-TS-0008 Transceiver Facility specification that are subject for verification, and extract related requirements;
• specify the conformance evaluation criteria for each requirement, and
• identify proposed verification method(s) for each requirement (e.g. test, demonstration, analysis, inspection).

The focus is on what is to be verified, and what is required to be compliant, not how.
