Abstract :
This paper explains our experience in applying “higher” levels of abstraction for DSP based designs. Higher levels of abstraction allow us to describe digital radio designs in a more generic fashion, abstracted over carrier frequencies and data rates. As such, specific instances of the radios can be compiled from our generic descriptions. In this way, we obtain rapid reconfiguration within a wide range of design specifications
