A fast algorithm already proposed for high data rate WPM systems has been applied to CWPM systems for speed enhancement. The theoretical performance of the computation algorithm is analyzed. The design uses 16-point Fast Wavelet Packet Transform/Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform (FWPT/IFWPT) of the Haar family as the core processing module. All the proposed fast CWPM (FCWPM) system modules are designed and implemented using VHDL programming language. Software tools used in this work include Altera Quartus II 9.1 and ModelSim Altera 6.5b. A Cyclone III board is used for the implementation. The hardware simulation results show that the use of fast Haar wavelet packet transform algorithms to implement complex wavelet packet modulation systems significantly increases its speed as compared with direct implementations.","PeriodicalId":436232,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115928892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since LTE-Advanced can reach up to rates of 1 Gbps in downlink, and since rate matching is in that critical path, it is very important that the design of the hardware architecture be efficient enough to allow this high data rate with little resources as possible. If not well planned, implementations on FPGAs can be quite challenging, limiting the choices of speed grades and FPGAs sizes capable of supporting such requirements. We propose efficient hardware architecture for the LTE-Advanced rate matching generic procedure; occupying only 218 slices and 9 block RAMs and performing in frequencies greater than 400 MHz in a FPGA-based solution.","PeriodicalId":436232,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122614153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to measurement results, when magnetic material with different thicknesses is placed on the CPW filter, the center frequency of the filter decreases as the thickness of the magnetic material increases, and vice versa. The frequency decreases by 20% as the thickness of 4mm magnetic material on the top. The lower and upper sides of passband frequency are reduced by 3.29MHz and 6.71MHz per mm thickness of magnetic material on average, respectively. This change can be achieved due to the magnetic materials' layers on top of CPW filter not by changing the actual hardware of the circuit.","PeriodicalId":436232,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122090720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
