Description

Advanced VLSI design using programmable logic devices and FPGAs is suitable to meet
the new generation requirements due to their ability to take advantage of new process
technologies and geometries. Wireless Communication is one of the most active areas of
technology development of recent time, as it is rapidly changing with new features and
technology. Wireless Communication today covers a very wide array of applications. Radio
Frequency Identification technology and Wireless sensor Network systems are most important
field of Wireless Communication system. The candidate has chosen the field of RFID and WSN
as the areas of work to venture some Adaptive VLSI design. Hardware implementation up to
RTL schematic level has been performed. In order to substantiate the design and real time
verification, synthesizable modules are downloaded on the high performance FPGA kit. Designs
are performed using high syntax VHDL code language and simulation results are obtained with
Xilinx ISE 14.3 simulator. Virtex 5, Spartan 6 and Kintex-7 FPGA boards have been used as a
hardware implementation platform. Performance evaluation and comparative study with related
work is performed, wherever it is possible. Processor implementation for RFID based power
saving appliance, Hardware implementation of anti-collision algorithm for RFID technology,
FPGA realization of novel data security scheme for RFID, Power efficient FPGA based wireless
sensor node implementation with efficient localization algorithm for large Wireless sensor
network system and finally, low power, low cost CORDIC algorithm based DPSK modem
realization with FPGA are the contribution of this research work and are described in this book.
