Gh. Kim et al., ASIC implementation of a new high-speed pipelined OFDM-64QAM wireless indoor LAN modem for the ISM 2.4 GHz band, J KOR PHYS, 35, 1999, pp. S960-S968
We present an ASIC implementation of a new high-speed pipelined wireless LA
N modem for the ISM 2.4 GHz band. 64QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) c
ombined with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) scheme is used
for higher data transmission rate of 6 Mbps compared to a typical wireless
LAN transmission rate of 2 Mbps. A Pipelined and shared datapath architectu
re is designed to reduce system complexity. The ASIC implemented OFDM-64QAM
modem shows 10(-6) SER (Signal to Error Ratio) at 29.3 dB SNR (Signal to N
oise Ratio).
