Project #4: FPGA Based Design and Implementation of DS-CDMA System

Back

Description:

How to transfer the DSSS transceiver theoretical model into a Prototype is to be learned in this project. CDMA systems can be designed and developed in FPGA technology. In particular, the methods of designing and emulating digital random sequences for spreading purposes and channel emulation will be investigated. The initial step will be mathematical modelling and simulation of the system in MATLAB based on the previous work in ECE Department. This simulator will be based on the mathematical model in discrete time domain that will be developed for various channel conditions including a narrowband channel simulation/emulation. The problem of their application in communication theory will be addressed. Inclusion of an RF block will be appreciated but not required.

The simulator/emulator will be demonstrated on an example of the standard Marina’s picture transmission, audio signal transmission or alike.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

The DSSS transceiver Prototype operating with various spreading sequences
