MW_(D)QPSK Modem

DQPSK_front

General Description

The MW_MODEM (D)QPSK core performs the physical  layer  for  baseband  modulator/demodulator  data  transmission  over  point-to point radio links. The  core  included  (D)QPSK  signal  mapping using  a  look-up  table  and  a  square  root  raised cosine  channel  filtering  to  reduce  Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and spectral spreading. Square root raised cosine filtering of the I and Q channel  streams  at  the  modulator  output  was implemented  digitally  using  a 97 tap  FIR filter and implemented  in  both  the  transmitter  and  the receiver, resulting in a total transfer characteristic of a raised cosine. A technique called interpolation was used in the filtering algorithm  to  increase  the  sampling  rate and  relax  the  reconstruction  filter  design.  The output was sampled by the D/A converter.
The  baseband  bandwidth  occupied  in  each channel is given by (1+α) * Bit rate / 2, with the capability to move from 0.5 MHz to 8 MHz.
A  Reed  Solomon  encoder  is  included  to  protect the data information from transmission errors. MW_MODEM (D)QPSK core was developed in Vivado tool, written in HDL code, and tested on Xilinx Artix™ 7 series and Xilinx Zynq™ FPGA. Structural  simulation  and  hardware  test  was performed  to  check  compliant  with  Matlab model.  FPGA  netlist  only  or  complete  design environment package are deliverable.
