SignalForge Radio

Planned

The SignalForge Radio subsystem provides software-defined radio (SDR) capabilities for RF signal processing.

Features

• SDR hardware abstraction through NPL drivers
• Frequency scanning and spectrum analysis
• Digital signal demodulation
• Integration with the Nexus security model for RF access control

Use Cases

Satellite Communication

For the Nexus Micro profile targeting satellite deployments, SignalForge Radio provides:

• Uplink/downlink signal processing
• Telemetry encoding and decoding
• Frequency hopping for link resilience

IoT Mesh Networking

For sensor mesh deployments (Nexus Tiny/Micro profiles):

• LoRa modulation/demodulation
• Mesh protocol stacks for sub-GHz communication
• Low-power duty-cycled radio management

Spectrum Monitoring

For security and research applications:

• Wide-band spectrum scanning
• Signal classification and identification
• Anomaly detection in RF environments

Security

RF hardware access requires explicit capabilities. All radio operations are logged to ProvChain, providing a complete audit trail of when and how RF hardware was used.
