"Design and Performance Analysis of a
High Speed AWGN Communication Channel Emulator"
Emmanuel Boutillon, University of South Brittany
If you are interested in speaking with the presenter, see
the information at the end of this email.
Abstract
--------
Software estimation of the performance of a communication system
is very time-consuming. Moreover, many variables (sampling frequency,
digital format, carrier resolution, rounding and quantization etc.)
have to be optimized while satisfying the best trade-off between
performances and complexity. In order to speed up the final parameter
optimization of a design, we propose to perform direct hardware
simulation (emulation) on an FPGA. High accuracy, fast and low-cost
hardware are achieved by combining the Box-Muller and Central limit
methods. The design is fully parameterizable and the performance of
the White Gaussian Noise Generator (WGNG) is entirely characterized
with a MATLAB program. This WGNG is also used to generate more
complex channels, such as Rayleigh channels and Rice channels.
Bio
---
Emmanuel Boutillon received the engineering degree in
telecommunications and his PhD in 1995, both from the Ecole Nationale
Supérieure des Télécommunications (Paris). From 1992 to 2000, he
worked at ENST, with a one year sabbatical stay at UofT in 1998. He
is currently a professor at the University of South Brittany where he
conducts research in the field of VLSI for digital communications.
Meeting
-------
Professor Boutillon will be available between 1:30pm and 4:00pm on
August 24th to meet with any interested students. If you would like
to meet with him, please email cide...@eecg.toronto.edu.
