The pseudo-analog wireless video transmission technology can improve the effectiveness, reliability, and robustness of the conventional digital system in video broadcast scenarios. Although some prototypes of IEEE 802.11 series have been developed for researchers to do simulations and experiments, they are usually expensive and provide very limited access to the physical layer. More importantly, these prototypes cannot be used to verify the correctness of the new proposed pseudo-analog wireless video transmission algorithms directly due to limited modulation modes they can support. In this paper, we present a novel design of software radio platform (SDR)-based pseudo-analog wireless video transceiver which is completely transparent and allows users to learn all the implementation details. Firstly, we prove that the analog method can also achieve the optimal performance as the digital method from the perspective of the rate-distortion theory. Then, we describe the two hardware implementation difficulties existed in the designing process including the data format modification and the non-linear distortion. Next, we introduce the implementation details of the designed transceiver. Finally, we analyze the performance of the designed transceiver. Specifically, the results show that the designed system can work effectively in both simulations and experiments.

伪模拟无线视频传输技术可以提高传统数字系统在视频广播场景中的有效性，可靠性和鲁棒性。尽管已经为研究人员开发了IEEE 802.11系列的某些原型，以进行仿真和实验，但它们通常很昂贵，并且提供了对物理层的非常有限的访问。更重要的是，由于它们支持的调制模式有限，因此这些原型无法直接用于验证新提议的伪模拟无线视频传输算法的正确性。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于软件无线电平台（SDR）的伪模拟无线视频收发器的新颖设计，该设计是完全透明的，并允许用户学习所有实现细节。首先，我们从速率失真理论的角度证明了模拟方法也可以达到数字方法的最佳性能。然后，我们描述了设计过程中存在的两个硬件实现困难，包括数据格式修改和非线性失真。接下来，我们介绍设计的收发器的实现细节。最后，我们分析设计的收发器的性能。具体而言，结果表明所设计的系统可以在仿真和实验中均有效地工作。我们介绍了设计的收发器的实现细节。最后，我们分析设计的收发器的性能。具体而言，结果表明所设计的系统可以在仿真和实验中均有效地工作。我们介绍了设计的收发器的实现细节。最后，我们分析设计的收发器的性能。具体而言，结果表明所设计的系统可以在仿真和实验中均有效地工作。
