Implementation of an OFDM system using FPGA

This paper presents an FPGA technique to gain approach in the problem of OFDM system implementation. The proposed design is synthesized by using high level design tools. The design flow is optimized for fast prototype which is implemented on the latest generation of FPGA chips. Such an FPGA implementation has the added advantage to modify for changes and improved system performance. The total needed area for both the transmitter and the receiver is taken into account. The total power of OFDM system is 105 mw. The proposed design is suitable for low power portable wireless communication in order to obtain long battery life.
