Abstract

This chapter will highlight the verification approaches for validating the functionality of FPGA-based DSP systems at both of the system level and the chip level using simulation-based verification approach and hardware-based verification approach, respectively. Examples are given for illustrating the flexible SW and HW co-operated test-bench platform, targeting the validation of DPD-based PA linearization application and MIMO-FLC-based massive MIMO precoding application.
