FPGA Implementation of Wireless Communication Systems with MATLAB Programs

Resource Overview

Implementation of wireless communication systems on FPGA platforms with supporting MATLAB simulation code and algorithms

Detailed Documentation

In this document, we explore the FPGA implementation of wireless communication systems along with corresponding MATLAB programs. Wireless communication represents a widely adopted technology that enables data transmission without physical connections. FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) serves as a programmable hardware platform ideal for implementing various wireless communication functionalities. We will provide comprehensive explanations of FPGA operational principles and demonstrate how to implement diverse wireless communication protocols using HDL (Hardware Description Language) coding techniques.

Additionally, we include MATLAB sample programs featuring key communication algorithms such as modulation/demodulation schemes (QPSK, QAM), channel coding (convolutional codes, LDPC), and synchronization techniques. The MATLAB code examples incorporate system-level simulations with functions like comm.QPSKModulator and comm.AWGNChannel, providing practical insights into algorithm performance and implementation trade-offs. Through this documentation, readers will gain profound understanding of FPGA-based wireless communication implementations and acquire practical skills for developing related programs using MATLAB's Communications Toolbox.

The content covers hardware-software co-design approaches, including parameterizable VHDL/Verilog modules for baseband processing and MATLAB-based verification environments that validate FPGA functionality through co-simulation methodologies.
