The hardware of a software-defined radio typically consists of a superheterodyne RF front end which converts RF signals from and to analog IF signals, and analog to digital converter and digital to analog converters which are used to convert a digitised IF signal from and to analog form, respectively.
In the long run, software-defined radio is expected by its proponents to become the dominant technology in radio communications.
The basic arrangement of the radio receiver used an antenna feeding an amplifier and down-converter (see mixer) feeding an automatic gain control, which fed an analog to digital converter that was on a computer VMEbus with a lot of digital signal processors (Texas Instruments C40s).
