Abstract

The software defined radio (SDR) channel simulator is designed and implemented in the FPGA for various wireless communication systems. The dedicated short range communications (DSRC) and ultra-wideband (UWB) channels are carried out to observe the characteristics of multi-path fading channels and validate the correctness of the SDR channel simulator. The hardware reconfiguration of the fading channel weighting generator circuit module is also demonstrated during mode switching.
