K. C. Sharin Shahana, Ravi Kumar Gupta, K. S. Parikh · 2014
Usage of Software-Defined Radio (SDR) in digital communication systems can easily cater to sophisticated coding and modulation techniques, to meet the ever-increasing requirements of the wireless communication industry. Future generation of wireless communications will meet the requirements of Software Radio technology as it would provide the state-of-art design to complex radio designs. Software-defined radios are configurable devices in which the components can be reprogrammed to emulate various functionalities like data rate, modulation, filtering etc. Field programmable architectures provide a suitable platform to achieve such run-time reconfigurations of the components of the radio. This project deals with the design and implementation of Low Frequency Trans-Receiver on Spartan-3AN device. System Generator has been used to design and to simulate system level models, and to obtain timing and resource utilization results before implementing the design on actual hardware.
