Abstract

During the last few years, the wireless market has experienced an exponential growth. 2G systems are essentially voice-oriented: the main innovation expected from 3G ones is the ubiquitous Internet and multimedia fruition. The transition from 2G to 3G provides both opportunities and challenges: one way to make this migration as smooth as possible relies on the employment of reconfigurable architectures. In this paper, a reconfigurable Rake receiver for W-CDMA is proposed. Very promising results from the physical implementation on a XCV300E have been obtained.
