This paper proposes an efficient implementation of digital up and down conversion for Software Defined Radio (SDR) using Model-Based Design (MBD). In particular, a novel flow for designing digital up and down conversion is detailed. Using MBD, a system model is at the center of the development process, from requirement development, through design, implementation, and testing. Using MBD, code can be automatically generated for system and create test benches for system verification, which is saving time and avoiding the introduction of manually coded errors. Design example shows that the proposed method can greatly reduce the complexity of digital up and down conversion while providing the efficient and reliability of design flow.
