RACH detection forms a key part of the WCDMA base-band functionality, and demands significant levels of signal processing, making it ideal for implementation in a Xilinx FPGA that can leverage parallel processing techniques in order to increase design performance and improve throughput.
The inherent flexibility of our Platform-FPGA technology allows the design to be easily adapted for different design requirements including cell sizes, detection schemes and input sample rate and bandwidth.
The RACH reference design forms part of a wider suite of material which investigate the application and benefits of Xilinx FPGA technology in 3G Baseband functions. Together with the WCDMA Rel 5 Case Study the reference design demonstrates how this complex function can be efficiently designed for our Platform-FPGA architectures, forming the core a practical Baseband solution.
