Filter bank spectrum sensing for Cognitive Radio oriented wireless network

Cognitive Radio (CR) is an emerging and fascinating wireless technology for the opportunistic use of under spectrum that promises to change the future technological trends forever if employed in a proper way. For communication the most prevailing job that cognitive radio performs is to enthusiastically search for the portions of the frequency band in the radio spectrum. Hence at every node of the Cognitive radio, network is reinvigorated by a spectrum analyser. This paper includes, introduction of a filter bank, a contrivance in CR systems for spectrum sensing. Numerous aspects of spectrum analyser methods are discussed. Wherein Thomson's Multi-taper method, is been accepted as the pre-eminent spectrum analyser in CR system for the detection of spectrum.
