Abstract :
Software defined radio (SDR) technologies and concepts is one of the most important topics of research particularly in the area of mobile and personal communications as it aims at delivering some key advantages over conventional radio design technology. Since the hardware platforms allows the functional change in system objects, the differing platforms give variable provision for the reallocation of resources, the FPGA design solutions is offered in this paper to provide both fine grain control of reconfigurable hardware objects and flexible resource utilization. These techniques are also applied to the part of the 802.11a baseband definition that offers variable coding and modulation.
