An Improved SDR FPGA Verification Methodology for Emerging OFDMA Waveforms

The rapid evolution of commercial technologies such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) is becoming more attractive for Software-Defined Radio (SDR) and public safety applications [1,2]. They have the potential to support high data throughput applications with scalable subcarriers and the use of multiple antenna techniques such as Multiple-Input Multiple- Output (MIMO) technology.
