Lattice DFE (Digital Front End) demo provides a digital solution consisting of CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface), DUC (Digital Up Converter) and CFR (Crest Factor Reduction) for 2 antenna, LTE (Long-Term Evolution) 2x2 MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) application. The demo design has been designed to work with the LatticeECP3 I/O Protocol Board.
The demo uses Ethernet to transfer DFE stimulus and output data between a PC and the board. The stimulus and output data of DFE are stored in on-board DDR3 memory.
