FPGA Implementation of Viterbi Decoder for Satellite System

Abstract

Convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding is a powerful method for forward error correction. This paper presents a short overview of a Viterbi decoder FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) implementation for Thuraya wireless communication sys-tem in Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language). The main goal of this project was re-source-optimized implementation of the decoder on the target platform. In this project, Viterbi Decoder is implemented on Altera Cyclone III FPGA. The transmitter is of constraint length 5 and of rate 1/4. The Viterbi decoder can operate at a frequency of 90 MHz.
