hi every one ,
can any body explain or provide some material on how to calculate BER using FPGA.
i am doing a project in which i want to compare different FEC techniques (like convolution codes,reed solomon codes etc) i want to implement in FPGA(cyclone--altera kits)
well first send binary data to ypur fpga block, and after your processing return it to the computer , and using the matlab, calculate the difference betewen the two binary files , ber=error bits/#bits
assume u send 001100 and u receive 101100
so u have only one error in 1 bit so ber=1/6
thank you for u r reply i will try u r suggestion.
by the way , in how many ways we can connect FPGA to computer
i know one method---using RS232 port
are there any other methods
