ASIC and DSP implementation of channel filter for 3G wireless TDD system

Describes the design, simulation and implementation of a high performance low power pulse-shaping finite impulse response (FIR) filter. The filter is used for a time division duplex (TDD)-wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) transmitter. The pulse shape filter will be implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP) and as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A performance analysis and comparison using industry standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools will be carried out.
