Design and implementation of 256-qam transceiver on fpga using matlab/simulink model
This paper discusses the Software Defined Radio-based Digital Transceiver, focusing on the 256-QAM transceiver used exclusively in 5G. The transceiver discussed here is software-defined, quite unlike that used in 5G.The 5G transceiver switches to the 256-QAM Modulation scheme when the received power is high. This paper uses the SIMULINK model to discuss the 256-QAM Modulation scheme, where the whole transceiver is designed and implemented on an FPGA. The speed and reconfigurability of the FPGAs are the driving forces for such an implementation.
