Abstract


This paper describes implementation of the word boundary estimation module in FPGA. The boundary estimation module is based on energy detector. This module is optimized for implementation in FPGA. It occupies 54 logical elements “Slice” and uses only 0.7% of “Spartan-6 LX45” resources. Experiments with this module were performed at different signal/noise (S/N) ratio. For S/N of 20 dB and 15 dB word boundaries were estimated with 100% accuracy. Acceptable results were also achieved, for S/N ratio of 10 dB and 5 dB, as the estimation accuracy was 95% and 93%, respectively.
