- The first demonstration of an end-to-end frequency agile radio system that solves the notorious concurrent, multiband RF challenge, using novel tunable antenna and direct RF digitisation techniques up to 4GHz. Based on 3GPP standards, an extensive design, simulation and measurement methodology is detailed, where a tunable, concurrent, multiband radio-receiver is comprehensively characterised across 3 independent radio bands for a single RF chain. The paper reports research from the FARAD project (EP/M013723/1), a collaboration with the University of Bristol and tier-1 cellular mobile vendors (e.g. NEC, UK-contact:Senior Consultant), and proved pivotal in the successful acquisition of a new grant DD-mmMaMi (EP/S008101/1).
