Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted by most wireless and wired communication standards, these include wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) HyperLan2, 802.11a, broadband wireless (802.16) and lately the 802.15.3c for millimetre wave communications. In parallel, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become an alternative for the implementation of those standards, due to their increased capabilities (speed and resources). This work introduces the design and performance evaluation of an OFDM transceiver, implemented on a FPGA platform for applications on a wireless millimetre wave radio system, operating around 60GHz.
