FPGA-based all-digital transmitters - pushing the bits closer the antenna
The event entitled "FPGA-based all-digital transmitters - pushing the bits closer the antenna" will be held on Thursday 14 March 2024 - in the Aula Maxwell of the Politecnico.
Abstract
The Software Defined Radio (SDR) idea, originally proposed by Mitola, envisioned a novel architecture for the radio systems, with the waveforms completely synthesized in the digital domain, achieving greater flexibility, reconfigurability and efficiency. The opportunities arising from this paradigm are unimaginable. The idea of having only one radio transceiver front-end completely independent from the standard, from the number of frequency bands, and completely agile, together with the capability of being real-time reconfigurable and upgradeable, is so ambitious that has caused a significant interest among all the research community. In the pursuit of this idea, the concept of All-Digital Transmitters (ADTs) was proposed. Taking advantage of the highly integrated digital systems, this concept would bring the RF digital domain closer to the antenna. Moreover, due to its small footprint and potential higher energy efficacies, ADTs are a great candidate for the next generation of mobile communications, where energy efficiency and large number of antennas are among the main requirements.
