  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to implement a Third Generation Mobile Communication turbo-coder and a turbo-decoder in an FPGA circuit in order to evaluate the architecture complexity of both devices. The implemented devices are to be coupled to a Digital Signal Processor in charge of all signal processing base-band operations in a third generation mobile terminal.
