A Review on Implementation of QAM on FPGA

Ravindra H. Sharma, Kiritkumar R. Bhatt

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is used in both analog and digital communication. In this technique, both amplitude and phase varies of carrier wave with respect to digital data or information. It provides high data rate for transmission. QAM is used in many application like color television, Wi-Max, OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), and in digital satellite communication system. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) provide magnificent platform for implementation of many type of algorithms. The FPGA technology has been playing a vital role in portable and mobile communication due to the feature of configurability in designing and Implementation. This paper represents the review of implementation and optimization techniques of QAM on different FPGA development boards.
