The Research And The FPGA Realization Of OFDM Telecommunication Modem

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) is a kind of digital modulation technology of multi-carriers which has many characteristics. It is suitable for the demand of the wireless telecommunications in high speed, broad band and mobility.This paper first describes the OFDM fundamental principle. For OFDM modulation, demodulation, characteristic and key technologies, it analyses them on theory and shows the more advantage than other modulating technology. Aim at channel estimation, deeply analyzes FFT-based cascade one-dimensional channel estimation algorithms and united iterative maximum likelihood semi-blind estimation algorithms, based on it, iterative maximum likelihood estimation algorithms is also described and compared by Matlab, both of them are validated.And then, OFDM system simulation platform is built with Matlab and Simulink. On this platform, the data curve is given for OFDM system based on various module parameter, just like multi-path fade, Gauss White noise and so on. Through analyzing the simulation result, some system performances can be appraised exactly.After combining the front several chapters and illuminating the OFDM system configuration and simulation analysis aimed to system characteristics, emphasis is design and implementation of OFDM baseband processing based on FPGA. According to802.16 protocol and OFDM characteristic, reasonable parameters are established. From modulator and demodulator to series-to-parallel conversion, QPSK mapping, sampling, pilot insertion, guard interval addition, IFFT/FFT and frame synchronization detection, paper makes design and implementation for every module of system, meanwhile present simulation waves and parameter explanation. Thereinto, due to limitation of fixed point, 24 float point format is design for system, and participated in IFFT/FFT with making full use of system resource and improving operation efficiency in parameter allowed. And IFFT/FFT based on FPGA is emphasized, for the problem that Algorithm operation time is excessively long and occupied resource is excessively more, new Algorithm with pipelining and less resource occupied is brought out and carried out. Putting it into OFDM baseband processing system, parameter is satisfied well. Afterward, based on OFDM theory, the system debugging and performance analysis is necessary to do and the feasibility of this design is proved.
