A spectrum-sensing algorithm is used to detect the available and the occupied frequency bands. The wideband antenna design approach is used for a microstrip fed monopole antenna that can be used for various wireless technologies such as GSM, UMTS, LTE, and WiFi operating at different frequencies from 1.25 to 3 GHz. The antenna is constructed from two copper layers of rectangular radiator and a partial ground plane. These layers are printed on an RO4003 substrate with dimensions 60 x 80 mm2. The antenna is experimentally fabricated to verify the simulation predictions and good matching between simulated and measured results is achieved. The wide-band antenna is tested by connecting it to the receiver of the Blade-RF Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. A matlab script is then used to control the SDR board and to perform Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio Applications.

Cognitive radio is regarded as a core technology to support wireless information systems. Spectrum sensing is one of the key steps to achieve cognitive radio technology. To address this problem in the presence of Alpha stable noise in wireless communication systems, we propose a nonparametric autocorrelation method, which takes advantages of the characteristics of signal autocorrelation and noise nonstationarity. The autocorrelated signal is distinguished from Alpha stable noise. As a result, the proposed method is immune from noise uncertainty. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed method under Alpha stable noise, for example, impulsive noise in wireless information systems.
