In digital communications, accurately modeling and replicating the channel effects between a transmitter and receiver is essential to assess their impact on transmitted data. Access to a real-time channel emulator is therefore crucial in the development of telecommunication systems. This paper presents a configurable, flexible, and high-performance FPGA-based channel emulator that supports multiple channel models, including Doppler, AWGN, and multi-path Fading. We explore bit-width precision in the components and present trade-offs between quality and resource utilization. Our exploration demonstrates – savings in various resources while maintaining the accuracy of the channel effects and operating at a high throughput of 500 Msps.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
