Implementation Of A Software Defined Radio On Fpgas Using System Generator, Tanvika M. Patel May 2010

Implementation Of A Software Defined Radio On Fpgas Using System Generator, Tanvika M. Patel

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The aim of this thesis is to implement a Software Defined Radio based wireless communication system using a Xilinx Spartan 3E Field Programmable Gate Array. Software Defined Radio refers to the class of reprogrammable radios in which the same piece of hardware can perform different functions at different times. Xilinx’s System Generator for Digital Signal Processor tool is used to simulate and implement AM modulation on the Spartan 3E Starter Board. The aim of this thesis is to implement a Software Defined Radio based wireless communication system using a Xilinx Spartan 3E Field Programmable Gate Array. Software Defined Radio refers …


An Evaluation Of Low Cost Fpga-Based Software Defined Radios For Education And Research, Abhilash M. Purani May 2010

An Evaluation Of Low Cost Fpga-Based Software Defined Radios For Education And Research, Abhilash M. Purani

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a low-cost Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform for educational and research purposes. An evaluation of existing SDR platforms and design techniques was performed, identifying low cost hardware and software suitable for a laboratory environment. The idea behind the project is to provide undergraduate students with a generic hardware platform so that they can perform simple radio communication experiments. This paper compares and evaluates the existing research projects and educational lab experiments done for SDR. Basic AM and FM radios are created and simulated on the hardware. The detailed procedure to create a …
