Description
Summary:Field programmable analogue array (FPAA) technologies can offer an analogue platform for a vast number of applications, including communication circuits requiring adaptive processing. The subject of this paper deals with the problem of generating and processing of base-band communication signals using a reconfigurable platform based on FPAA technology. In the experiments it was used AN221E04 circuit included in Anadigmvortex-AN221K04 development board and connected to PC through a serial interface. Also it was used the software tools from AnadigmDesignerreg2 that allows complex circuits to be designed with a simple drag-and-drop graphical interface. Especially analog modulators and demodulator were implemented, but the capabilities of the circuits offer great possibilities for more elaborated modulation schemes.
