Usage of Software-Defined Radio (SDR) in digital communication systems can easily cater to sophisticated coding and modulation techniques, to meet the ever-increasing requirements of the wireless communication industry. Future generation of wireless communications will meet the requirements of Software Radio technology as it would provide the state-of-art design to complex radio designs.

This implementation uses the Matlab/Simulink-TM, Embedded Matlab-TM blocks. Then VHDL code is written and synthesized by ISE software from Xilinx Company. The results show that it is easy and useful to design, develop and implement the SDR using new techniques of programmable logic tools. In this paper both receiver and transmitter use the partial reconfiguration technique, defined by the user, and appropriate bit streams are produced. Therefore, we have two bit streams which can be configured at any moment of time according to the user request. Hardware Proposed architecture of SDR has some advantage rather than previous architectures like high-speed and real-time processing, high flexibility, low cost, high security and low power consumption. This idea can uses in modern commercial SDR due To using partial reconfiguration technique.

The Altera Cyclone family of FPGA provides the ability to perform run time reconfiguration which is known as Dynamic Reconfiguration. Current technology allows designers to implement complete embedded computing systems on a single FPGA. Using an FPGA as the implementation platform introduces greater flexibility into the design process and allows a new approach to embedded system design. Since there is no cost to reprogramming an FPGA, system performance can be measured on-chip in the runtime environment and the system's architecture can be altered based on an evaluation of the data to meet design requirements.This paper concentrates on designing a reconfigurable platform which consists of reconfigurable coprocessors that can be used in various applications. The architecture that we have developed for the generic reconfigurable coprocessor is well suited for multiple application domains. It ties in to the sequential RISC processor based C programming framework where in the coproc...

Nowadays, we hardly find any field which is not advancing rapidly, modern communication systems are also advancing at a faster rate. So it is mandatory we must design the techniques to evaluate the performance of such modern communication systems like Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cognitive Radio using reconfigurable devices like FPGA.

Radio communications have evolved through an extended history of theoretical and practical component development into modern devices most often envisioned as the ubiquitous smart phones found in almost everyone's hand on a university campus. During this development, radios have evolved from analog devices operating at low frequencies into nearly all digital processing systems referred to as Software Defined Radio (SDR) operating in frequency bands over 1 Gigahertz. Although specific forms and types of communication are fiercely pursued by commercial communication companies and industry, there remain numerous concepts where further advancement is possible, and applications, possibly less commercially viable, where advancements and improvements may provide tremendous benefit. In this study, the availability of advanced programmable digital signal processing components for personal computers and digital system design that can be readily incorporated in SDR have been investigated, incorporated and demonstrated.
