EE382C Embedded Software Systems - HDSL2 Project
HDSL2 Modem Project
A study of digital subscriber line (xDSL) modems and an
end-to-end simulation and synthesis in C of one type of
xDSL modem.
Ptolemy can be used for both the simulation and synthesis.
Cicada Semiconductor here in Austin, Texas, is in the process
of designing HDSL2 modems and may be able to provide some guidance
provided that your team consists of full-time UT students.
