Abstract
Communications devices operating in the TV white space (TVWS) spectrum will be strictly regulated, requiring compliance with spectral masks to protect incumbent users and sufficient frequency agility to allow access to numerous frequency bands at different times and locations. Therefore, future designs operating at radio frequency (RF) have been proposed. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an implementation of such a transceivers at a scale-down frequency implemented on the OMAP--L137 evaluation module, whereby the RF link can be replaced by the device's audio I/O, thus enabling easier observation and algorithm testing for students
