A contribution to a virtual prototyping for a spread spectrum telecommunication system using VHDL-AMS

This paper presents a virtual prototype for a home automation spread spectrum (DS-SS) telecommunication system based on the VHDL-AMS high level language. A specific additive white Gaussian noise channel generating a automatic noise level is presented here along with the Box-Muller generation method that allows the user to set the signal to noise ratio parameter (SNR) directly. Simulations and synthesis results dedicated to a FPGA prototype are also presented, in term of size and power consumption.
