Abstract

In this paper, an implementation of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) on field programmable gate array (FPGA) is introduced. FPGAs offer superior speed. Implementation is done through hardware co-simulation; This co-simulation capability automatically creates bit streams to and from the FPGA and associates them with the corresponding System Generator blocks in the Simulink model. Thus, calculations for the compiled System Generator blocks are computed on the FPGA rather than being emulated in software.
