Modern-day wireless systems are characterized by short development windows, coupled with a large volume of requirements that are often antagonistic to each other, such as ever-increasing processing power, placed against the need to keep power consumption from growing, and also the need to improve on the efficiency of use of the RF spectrum. Traditional ASIC design approaches are severely strained especially by the requirements for fast design turn-over and adaptability to a diverse RF environment and alternatives are eagerly searched for in many disciplines. One promising alternative is the use of reconfigurable ASIPs, which offer the promise of speedy development and upgrade of complex systems, combined with the ease of use and relative safety of software-programmable components. MORPHEUS is one such platform that is evaluated in this case study by means of a portion of the PHY-layer for the popular 802.16e/j wireless standards.
