Abstract :
The dynamic reconfigurability of field programmable gate arrays offers great benefits to software defined radio applications. Leveraging these benefits is difficult, owing to a lack of tool support and the detailed architectural knowledge required. To fully exploit the potential of dynamic hardware, a high-level development environment has been created. This development environment has been validated by implementing a reconfigurable AM radio on a software defined radio platform.
