In this paper, we present the details of a portable, powerful, and flexible software-defined radio development platform called the Kansas University Agile Radio (KUAR). The primary purpose of the KUAR is to enable advanced research in the areas of wireless radio networks, dynamic spectrum access, and cognitive radios. The KUAR hardware implementation and software architecture are discussed in detail. Radio configurations and applications are presented. Future research made possible by this flexible platform is also discussed.
