چکیده

This paper explores the state of the art in FPGA based software radio, and demonstrates the concepts in an example design. The trend in software radios is moving toward an all-digital design within a single chip. Most elements of a digital radio can now be implemented within a DSP or an FPGA. Many vendors provide intellectual property cores, which make up the building blocks of a software radio, but these cores are usually not portable from one vendor to another. This paper presents an example design for a digital radio. An off-the-shelf high-speed analog to digital converter board and a generalpurpose FPGA board are used to implement a working radio using portable VHDL based source code and cores.

FPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects

Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
