Introduction

The worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) standard is an emerging technology with significant potential that is poised to revolutionize the broadband wireless internet access market. The diverse hardware requirements for these systems including processing speed, flexibility, integration and time-to-market necessitate an FPGA based implementation platform. Altera high-density FPGA devices provide WiMAX OEMs with significant competitive advantages by minimizing development time and resources, maximizing first-time success, and accelerating time-to-market. This application note describes how system architects and hardware designers can accelerate the design of digital u
