Software defined radio and radio system
First Claim
1. A software defined radio including a base band unit and a radio frequency unit preset so as to satisfy a first specification criterion prescribing a first transmission and reception characteristic, and said software defined radio conducting data transmission and reception by using an antenna, said software defined radio comprising:
- a storage for holding information concerning a second specification criterion, said second specification criterion prescribing a second transmission and reception characteristic different from said first transmission and reception characteristic; and
a control unit for conducting alteration on setting of said base band unit and said radio frequency unit so as to satisfy said second specification criterion, based on said information concerning said second specification criterion.

Abstract
In order to provide a software defined radio and an approval system of a radio which can flexibly cope with specification alteration, a software defined radio includes a storage for holding transmission and reception characteristic information serving as a specification criterion; and a control unit for comparing a measured value obtained from a measurement circuit with the information of the specification criterion and conducting setting of the radio so as to satisfy the specification.

14. A server for delivering software to a radio in a wireless form, said software including transmission and reception characteristic information and a control program for controlling said radio so as to satisfy said transmission and reception characteristic information, said server comprising:
-
means for adding information for detecting falsification to said software;
means for encrypting said software with said information for detecting falsification added thereto; and
means for transmitting said encrypted software to said radio.

16. A method for delivering software held in a server to a radio, wherein
said server holds a plurality of pieces of software including transmission and reception characteristic information serving as a specification, and a control program for controlling said radio so as to satisfy said transmission and reception characteristic information, and said server holds, for each software of a plurality of pieces of software, information indicating which specification the software corresponds to, and information concerning a type of said radio in which an approval inspection of the software was conducted, and said method comprising the steps of: -
receiving a download request of software from said radio, said type and the specification of said radio being specified in said request;
selecting software corresponding to said type and said specification from said plurality of pieces of software; and
transmitting said selected software to said radio.

17. A method for downloading software held in a server to a radio in order to alter a specification of said radio, said software including transmission and reception characteristic information and a control program for controlling said radio so as to satisfy said transmission and reception characteristic information, said method comprises in said radio the steps of:
-
receiving a list of pieces of software which can be downloaded from said server, said list including information indicating which specification the software corresponds to, and information concerning a type of said radio in which an approval inspection of the software was conducted;
selecting software conforming to the specification to be implemented after alteration and the type of the own radio from said list; and
requesting downloading of said selected software from said server.
