Design of hardware components for a baseband processing API

Sammanfattning: The programming languages that describe hardware circuits are important for circuit designers to assist them to design and develop the hardware circuits. In this master’s project, the Lava hardware description language is used to design and develop hardware components for a baseband processing API. Lava is a language embedded in the general purpose language Haskell. The function for checking transmission errors in the baseband processing chain, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is implemented in different ways and tested. Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) circuits for a particular polynomial generator are developed, implemented and simulated by using Lava code to calculate the CRC. A generalized function of CRC is developed as a circuit generator for any given polynomial generator. The circuit is tested by automatic test program.
