First Prize SOPC Implementation of Software - Defined Radio
نویسنده
چکیده
Our project implements a software-defined radio (SDR) in a Nios® II processor. A software-defined radio is a radio that provides software control of a variety of modulation and demodulation techniques, wide-band or narrow-band operation, communications security functions (such as hopping), and waveform requirements of current and evolving standards over a broad frequency range. In this project, we used the Nios II processor—which supports easy reconfiguration and low development costs—to build a software-defined radio that supports many real-time applications. Altera®-based system-on-aprogrammable-chip (SOPC) designs let designers implement real-time critical functions in hardware. Custom instructions make it easy to implement the whole system on an SOPC platform, with better software partitioning and hardware implementation of the software-defined radio.
