Abstract

This paper presents an FPGA implementation of a channelizer based on digital filter bank with 2048 channels for satellite communications. The proposed architecture was simulated in Simulink and implemented on a Kintex-7 FPGA. The design was tested with a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP).
