In this project you get the chance to develop and test a transmitter for a 3G mobile communications system. The IIS is currently working on a receiver for TD-HSPA, a 3G standard emerging from China. In order to complete the receiver a high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) transmitter will be realized in VHDL during this thesis. The goal of this project is to design the transmitter and to develop a first testbed setup. The first step is to design the complete digital part of the transmitter. After the digital part has been implemented in VHDL and synthesized it can be tested on an FPGA board. You can then start to set up a testbed for your transmitter. The goal is to connect the FPGA board to the existing analog tranceiver to realize a standard compliant TD-HSPA transmitter. In the end, the complete chain will be able to transmit data from a PC through your digital part and the analog frontend over the air to a network analyzer.Note that this master project can be split up into two independent semester projects. The digital transmitter can also be realized during a VLSI design project and the testbed setup in another thesis.

Creating Transmitter and Testbed Development for TD-SCDMA.jpg

Short Description

In this project you get the chance to develop and test a transmitter for a 3G mobile communications system. The IIS is currently working on a receiver for TD-HSPA, a 3G standard emerging from China. In order to complete the receiver a high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) transmitter will be realized in VHDL during this thesis. The transmitter takes the raw data and takes care of putting it in a TD-HSPA compliant frame structure, applies the error correction coding and rate-matching and finally maps the digital '0's and '1's to physical I/Q symbols which can then be forwarded to an analog transceiver.

The goal of this project is to design the digital transmitter and implement it either as an ASIC or on a FPGA board, depending on your preferences. In case of a design project, the final transmitter can then be taped out, manufactured and finally measured during the VLSI III lecture.
