Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 2nd World Symposium on Web Applications and Networking (WSWAN) Conference Start Date: 2015, March 21 Conference End Date: 2015, March 23 Conference Location: Sousse, Tunisia In this paper, an implementation of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) on field programmable gate array (FPGA) is introduced. FPGAs offer superior speed. Implementation is done through hardware co-simulation; This co-simulation capability automatically creates bit streams to and from the FPGA and associates them with the corresponding System Generator blocks in the Simulink model. Thus, calculations for the compiled System Generator blocks are computed on the FPGA rather than being emulated in software.
