A Single-Chip Supervised Partial Self-Reconfigurable Architecture for Software Defined Radio

چکیده
Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology seeks to solve the problem of multiple incompatible broadcast / telecom standards available in different locations, by having standard specific processing defined in software. This software will be downloaded and run on generic hardware, so that different broadcast / telecom standards can be supported by downloading corresponding software modules. Computing platform based SDR attempts to bridge the worlds of computing and broadcast / telecoms, by exposing the features and resources of computers to SDR and vice versa. However, such a concept results in certain architectural issues that need to be resolved. This paper describes the concept of Computing Platform based SDR, and the resulting issues & desired features of such a system. An innovative system architecture that involves the supervised partial self-reconfiguration of a single FPGA is proposed and detailed. Finally, a system test is conducted to illustrate and verify the reconfiguration oper-

متن کاملDynamic Reconfiguration Technologies Based on FPGA in Software Defined Radio System
Partial Reconfiguration (PR) is a method for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designs which allows multiple applications to time-share a portion of an FPGA while the rest continues to operate unaffected. As a result, the physical layer processing architecture in Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems can benefit from reduced complexity and increased design flexibility, as different waveform a...
