Physical level design of an OFDM radio for digital communication with a software defined radio(SDR) platform

Currently the pressure of technological advances requires developers to reduce the design cycle and development time. For this reason the design process, verification and validation of the algorithms for physical level of a OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) radio can be very long, if we do not follow the proper methodology. This paper shows a methodology for design and verification of the digital communication algorithms using a SDR (Software Defined Radio) platform to accelerate the verification and validation of the algorithms design at OFDM physical level. Thus, this work presents a practical approach through the SDR platform by the design of digital communication systems, which is useful in real applications.
