Deploying LTE Wireless Communications on FPGAs: A Complete MATLAB and Simulink Workflow
Wireless communications are at the center of innovation in smart phones, high-reliability automated driving sys- tems, and low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Designing these systems requires close collaboration across multiple disciplines.
Deploying algorithmic models to FPGA hardware makes it possible to do over-the-air testing and verification. Automatically generating HDL code directly from the system-level algorithms and models eliminates the need for engineers to rely on specification documents or manually architect and write code.
Download this White Paper paper describes the process of converting MATLAB® algorithms and Simulink® models directly into HDL for FPGAs: Topics include:
LTE standard-compliant algorithmic modeling with MATLAB and LTE System ToolboxTM
Transitioning from a frame-based MATLAB algorithm to a streaming Simulink implementation
Fixed-point implementation using Fixed-Point DesignerTM and target hardware knowledge
Speeding design by using proven intellectual property (IP) blocks
Generating HDL and deploying on target hardware, in this case a Xilinx® Zynq® device
