Abstract :
Uniform Random Number Generators (URNG) are an indispensable block in channel emulators systems. They are required for producing noises and distortions for testing wireless communication systems. Therefore, there is a necessity of producing several uncorrelated URNG. This paper presents a high-speed, low-power URNG generator for producing parallel uncorrelated data flows, based on the use of the hybrid cellular automata´s (CA) method. Time and area analysis carried out, showing that the proposed architecture can be used in parallel to test multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Statistical analyses are presented corroborating its quality. In addition, the proposed architecture has been implemented in a VLSI device, showing its potentially massive use in commercial channel emulators.
