Implementación de técnicas de procesamiento digital de señales en FPGA s para aplicaciones educativas

Abstract

Abstract:This curricular integration project addresses the implementation of digital signal processing (DSP) techniques in FPGAs as an innovative educational resource for Telecommunications Engineering students. Practical labs were developed, including FIR and IIR filters, digital modulation and demodulation (OFDM), and the fast Fourier transform (FFT). These labs combined initial simulations in Python with the implementation of the algorithms in hardware using VHDL and the Vivado development environment, which allowed for the validation of their functionality through simulations, known as Test Bench, and controlled testing. The project bridged the gap between theory and practice by providing students with industry-relevant technical experience. Furthermore, the Waterfall methodology was key to structuring the project development efficiently. The approach facilitated hands-on learning and helped students develop the technical and analytical skills required in the telecommunications field, as well as the ability to solve complex problems and innovate in digital signal processing applications.
