Critical question regarding MIMO OFDM project

project mimo ofdm

Hello everyone,

I'd like to have your opinion in a very critical issue in my graduation project which is the implementation of MIMO OFDM Tx & Rx (using FPGA & interfacing...)

there's an idea to do the modulation part (OFDM) using SDR technique...by having a small microprocessor & writing code to be its operating system then writing the OFDM algorithm to be done through it..

my question is...
1- is this additional SDR idea will be a great load on my project ..or i can do it with a simple level of the SDR just to do my aim?
2- if i'll do it , should i start learning OFDM then its algorithm & then learning simple SDR to write it's code.......or should i start by SDR as a base & then OFDM as a study case??

thanks everybody....i'm eager to give u the 3 points ...just help me because this issue is very critical to me

In my opinion, you should really concentrate on your project.. SDR will add unwanted load on your project.. I hope if any one more proffessional than me would give you his advice..
PS: Thank you for the 3 points..

Why don't you do this on top of gnu Radio (https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/) which may well have much of what you would need to build? There is an FPGA board with RF receiver and transmitters as well, available here https://www.ettus.com/
