Design Remote Radio Head Applications with FPGAs
This document outlines the use of Altera's broad portfolio of 28-nm FPGAs and ASICs, combined with productivity-enhancing software tools and reference designs, to enable future-proof and differentiated Remote Radio Head (RRH) designs. It highlights the capabilities of Stratix V, Arria V SoC, Cyclone V, and HardCopy V platforms for various RRH requirements, including higher-order MIMO, active antennas, and small cells.
The text details Altera's wireless RF framework components, which include development boards with HSMC connectors, third-party RF analog boards, and system integration tools like Qsys and DSP Builder. These components facilitate rapid prototyping and testing of new algorithms and architectures for evolving system-level RRH requirements.
