Tenders Are Invited For Throughput Cpu-Based Dvb-S2/S2x Software Defined Radio

Tenders are invited for 1 Gbit/S Throughput Cpu-Based Dvb-s2/s2x Software Defined Radio (Artes at 7a.088) - Expro+ 1 GBIT/S THROUGHPUT CPU-BASED DVB-S2/S2X SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (ARTES AT 7A.088) - EXPRO+ Tender Action Number: 1-13328 Activity Number: 1000045288 Clarification Request Deadline 18/06/2026 13:00 CET Closing Date Extension Request Deadline 18/06/2026 13:00 CET Announcement Date 27/02/2026 Last Update On 16/04/2026 14:10 CET Update Reason Tender Action Data Information Updated Objective: The objective of the activity is to design, develop and test a 1 Gbit/s DVB-S2/S2X demodulator and 500 Mbit/s multi-frequency TDMA modulator on a high performance x86, ARM, or similar CPU based Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) platforms.Targeted Improvements: 10-fold data rate increase compared to existing full DVB standards-compliant software defined radio implementations.Description: Current software-defined modems have demonstrated throughputs of around 100 Mbit/s, with some claims of significantlyhigher performance using specialised hardware and limiting the demodulator to one modcod only. Conversely, a high-performance modemrunning on a generic CPU platform opens up the possibility to deploy field-upgradable modems on server hardware for professional and governmental applications.This activity will study the implementation of DVB-S2 and S2X compliant demodulation algorithms as well as DVB-RCS2 MF-TDMA compliant modulation algorithms on high performance x86, ARM, or similar CPU based Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) platforms. A CPU-based software-defined radio with a throughput of 1 Gbit/s in DVB-S2X and 500 Mbit/s in MF-TDMA will be designedand developed. The software-defined radio will be tested in a relevant environment using a hardware modulator and burst demodulator, or dedicated test equipment.Procurement Policy: C(1) = Activity restricted to non-prime contractors (incl. SMEs).
