Different design approaches are to be used to optimize your modem design according to different circumstances of modem applications. Thre are a number of factors to be considered in order to make your design commercially viable and technologically competitive.
First you have to decide on which platform to adopt in your design. ASIC, configurable such as FPGA, software based such as SDR - Software Defined Radio, GPU (Graphical Processing Units) based, etc etc.
Then you need to determine which technologies to use: such as developers, design tools, IPs, HDL, simulation tools, synthesis tools, implementation and debugging tools and development boards etc.
Amids so many options there can be no optimum solution to opt your goal of economy and technology standard. Most of time we have to rely on our experiences and personal preferrence in deciding on which technologies to take, and many times we just follow the industry tradition. |
