Implementation of Radon-Framelet Based OFDM on FPGA Platform

This article proposes an efficient design and implementation of Framelet-Based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Finite Radon Transform (FRAT), named as (FRAT-FTOFDM), on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. Modern FPGA design tool called Xilinx System Generator (XSG) is used to implement the transceiver of FRAT-FT-OFDM system. The FPGA implementation is carried out on a Zynq (XC7Z020-1CLG484) evaluation board with Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) hardware co-simulation. Performance of the implemented architecture has been validated through hardware co-simulation in term of utilized area and consumed power. The results showed that the system was implemented efficiently with few resources and consumed power, and could support realtime operations.
