Ανάπτυξη τηλεπικοινωνιακών υποσυστημάτων σε FPGA με την αναπτυξιακή πλατφόρμα ZedBoard Zynq-7000 ARM/FPGA SoC και την RF αναπτυξιακή πλακέτα AD-FMCOMMS2/3/4/5 FMC

Abstract

This current diploma thesis consists of five main chapters. The first chapter presents the theoretical background of Software Defined Radio (SDR), as well as the parameters that need to be taken into account for the development and implementation of telecommunication subsystems based on them. The second chapter examines the design methodology of SDR systems, analyzes the various categories of development platforms used for SDR systems, but also the different categories of software required to design and implement a SDR system. The advantages and disadvantages of SDR are mentioned and in addition some typical applications, in which SDR systems are used. The third chapter describes the architecture and the principle of operation of both the individual components of the laboratory equipment (ZedBoard, AD-FMCOMMS4 FMC), as well as the software (Simulink, Vivado) used for this diploma thesis. It also presents a detailed guide to installing the necessary programs and tools, which are necessary for the connection and restoration of communication between the equipment and a programming environment on a computer. The fourth chapter describes the different schemes in which an FPGA development board operates and gives some typical examples of implementing a complete SDR system for each of these schemes. Finally, there will be a detailed presentation. design, and development of a fully autonomous SDR system, which is the subject of this diploma thesis. In the last chapter, the problems that arose during it are mentioned, various comments are made on the results of the measurements taken as well as the conclusions that are drawn regarding the functionality and the reliability of the overall construction.
