IEEE 802.11n Physical Layer Implementation on Field Programmable Gate Array
Abstract: Register transfer
level (RTL) development is a time cost step that requires high diligence and
fidelity to get the valid interpretation of abstraction function of digital
circuit. In this research, we introduce and prove that Model-Based Design
Process (MBDP) is an effective and efficient way to develop a RTL complex
system such as wireless communication. Using MBDP flow, we interpret, develop,
and verify the physical layer RTL of a new standard that ratified on the end
2009, i.e. IEEE 802.11n wireless local area network (WLAN). The result of this
research is a prototyping FPGA StratixII EP2S180 that has properly worked as a
2x2 MIMO WLAN with maximum throughput 144 Mbps.
