Combo FPGA/DSP Moves into Multi-protocol Design

摘要

The need for higher data rates is driving the evolution of wireless cellular systems from narrowband 2G Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), IS-95 systems to current-generation Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA)-based 3G and 3.5G systems supporting peak data rates of over 10 Mb/s. Future third generation, partnership project long-term evolution (3GPP LTE) specifications point to complex signal processing techniques such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), along with new radio technologies.
