Throughout the project the LTE system,

OFDM modulation and Turbo

Coding, including Viterbi, BCJR

and SOVA are extensively analysed,

ending up with a system performance

specification. These are

used to implement a fixed length

Turbo encoder, a 16-QAM modulator

and a 16 point IFFT on an

FPGA using MATLAB Simulink R ⃝

with Xilinx R ⃝ System Generator plugin.

A MATLAB R ⃝ scr ipt is developed

to test the Simulink implementation.

In addition, an iterative

Turbo decoder is programmed using

MATLAB R ⃝ .-Throughout the project the LTE system,
