Modern telecommunication systems and standards are mainly dependent on the availability of digital signal processing capabilities of appropriate hardware and software components. This book describes the development of a Wireless Telecommunication System, describing the relevant development methodologies, regarding aspects of hardware and software split and actual implementations of components in hardware as well as in software. This is done specifically for the example of a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) wireless mobile system. The actual state of the art is described in detail, according to the relevant literature in the area of WCDMA systems. Programmable hardware is presented, which is covered through a portfolio of patents. The purpose and the application of each patent are described in detail as well as the area of application. Finally a evaluation of each patent is given, which aims to give an objective measure about the value of a patent.
