802.11a Physical Layer Baseband
The 802.11a IP core allows to transmit and receive data packets according the IEEE 802.11a standard.
Overview
The 802.11a IP core allows to transmit and receive data packets according the IEEE 802.11a standard. CRC-32, digital up/down conversion, and RF control are included. The IP is available as Verilog source code.
Key features
- Fully IEEE 802.11a standard compliant
- Support for all data rates 6-54 Mbit/s
- Available as Verilog source code without vendor specific IP cores
- Synthesis possible for Altera and Xilinx FPGAs without source code changes
- 80 MHz target frequency
- Runs on Virtex-4, Stratix II or faster devices
- Generic message interface for configuration, operation, and debugging
- Separate interfaces for control messages and data input/output
- RF control lines included (PA/TX/RX on/off, 16 parallel AGC lines, 3-wire serial bus)
- Generic AGC algorithm allows simple configuration via message interface
- Digital up and downconversion to/from 80 MS/s DAC/ADC interface for zero IF or 20 MHz low IF mode
- Message control via UART and internal data generator for PHY-only debugging directly from a PC
