Dear everyone:
Recently I have been doing my graduation design, wchich is the implemention of 802.11a ofdm PHY. My tutor required me to use FPGA so I implemented baseband OFDM modulation-demodulation using Virtex5 FPGA. My tutor decided not to use USRP because the RF bandwidth is too limited.
Now I have to do up-conversion to 5.8GHz and I decided to use XCVR2450 board. Besides some configurations of the registers of MAX2829, such as bandsellect, divider ratio and so on, do I need to do anything else? Does AFC, AGC,eliminating dc offset and something like that need to be done in FPGA? I have been studying benchmark_tx and benchmark_rx for some time, but I don't find AFC or anyting like that.
Any of your responses will be very appreciated.
