Real-time testing and simulation of open- and closed-loop radio frequency (RF) systems for signal generation, signal analysis and digital signal processing require deterministic, low-latency, high-throughput capabilities afforded by user reconfigurable field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This comprehensive book introduces LabVIEW FPGA, provides best practices for multi-FPGA solutions, and guidance for developing high-throughput, low-latency FPGA based RF systems. Written by a recognized expert with a wealth of real-world experience in the field, this is the first book written on the subject of FPGAs for radar and other RF applications.
How to read this book based on your background; LabVIEW FPGA literature review; Background technology; Using LabVIEW FPGA; Optimizing your LabVIEW FPGA based system; NI LabVIEW FPGA case studies; RF LabVIEW FPGA case studies; Staying Current; Appendix.
