Abstract
The advent of wireless communications of the last decades has spun an exponential increase in the number of users, hardware, and data rates. On the brink of the fifth wave of wireless system development (5G) it is forecasted the world will become even more interconnected at ever-growing speeds. This chapter introduces the need for Software Defined Radios as the most suited candidate for the hardware system implementation and conveys the goals targeted by the research presented in this book.
