is a radio communication system where components traditionally implemented in hardware (e.g., mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators) are implemented via software on a general-purpose processor or embedded system. The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) is an open, standardized framework designed to ensure interoperability and portability of these software applications (waveforms) across diverse SDR hardware platforms. 2.
