For instance, what is ASIC?

Application Specific Integrated Circuit, i.e. a custom part as opposed to a generic FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for DSP (Digital Signal Processing), or indeed any custom IC replacing a number of generic parts. Pedantically an SDR (Software Defined Radio) relies more on DSP implemented by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) than an FPGA (because it doesn't run software unless it has a CPU core),

These terms are common in radio / communication engineering for over 30 years.
