Abstract:
An analysis-based framework for the rapid development of a radio receiver for signals with unknown parameters is pro-posed, exploiting the reconfiguration capabilities of FPGAs. The framework guides a non-expert user through the proc-ess of signal classification and FPGA-based receiver im-plementation. System efficiency is traded off with imple-mentation time in order to allow fast radio creation. A set of high-level transformations are applied to the unknown sig-nal based on different hypothesis about the modulation scheme. The results of the transformations are presented to the user, who can steer the process of analysis. The parame-ters of the radio are then mapped by means of an Implemen-tation Engine to modules implemented in a general purpose FPGA-based receiver.
