The VITA Radio Transport standards encapsulate RF data. It emphasizes precise timestamps and rich signal information, and seeks to be a common means of moving custom analog IC logic into COTS digital networks--a kind of virtual SDR

Types

  • Context packet -- describes properties of the radio components and antenna
    • DDC: tuning, bandwidth
    • ADC: sample rate, triggering
    • RF tuner: bandwidth, gain, phase lock
    • Antenna: azimuth, angle, polarization, location, altitude, speed, heading
  • Signal packet -- IF data, ID, timestamp, supplied by the DDC
  • VRT information stream combines Context and Signal packets
  • Configuration remains ad hoc
