Overview
The customer required Design and Development of large OFDM MIMO System with Complete ownership of Software and hardware life cycle management, along with system Architecture and component selection.
Challenges
- Eight FPGAs were required to implement the logic and it involved complex algorithm understanding and implementation
- Power requirement, interface and synchronization between FPGA’s Configuration, 10G MAC interface with higher layer without stack in FPGA
- Complexity in realization of optimistic RTL from Matlab/C Model and Turbo Decoder from third party vendors supporting up to 35 Mbps speed. VHDL/Verilog is used for RTL Design.
Outcomes
Matlab algorithm implementation
Floating to Fixed point conversion and BER Measurement
Fixed point and C-Model to RTL Conversion
Implemented in Altera Stratix-V FPGA’s and Cyclone V FPGA (28nm technology)
