Abstract
This book discusses an interdisciplinary study in wireless communication and Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design, more specifically, implementation of digital baseband processing using reconfigurable architectures. Development of such kind of systems, sometimes referred to as baseband processors [15] or Software-defined radio (SDR) platforms [8], is an important and challenging subject, especially for small-scale base stations (e.g., femtocells) and mobile terminals that must provide reliable services under various operating scenarios with low power consumption.
