Abstract

This paper suggests an automated validation approach in testing advanced digital signal processing algorithms. These algorithms, which are intended for the implementation of the base band processor of software defined radios, are developed in software (digital signal processors DSP) and hardware (FPGA) environments in order to meet real-time and offline requirements. The automation of the testing of such algorithms enhances their robustness and accuracy, reduces human-computer interaction, decreases the latency between tests by reusing unmodified program code
