Abstract
Third generation mobile telephony applications require very efficient architectures, often implemented as a System on a Chip (SoC). Designing such architectures from the specification of the application requires fast prototyping techniques based on models of computation as well as efficient prototyping platforms. We consider here the implementation of a wcdma uplink emitter and receiver on a Lyrtech hardware–software platform including a dsp and a fpga. We explain how the application can be explored using MatLab, Simulink, a dsp model, and the MmAlfa environment for high-level synthesis. The first results and conclusions of this exploration are presented and discussed.
