New Virtex-7 FPGAs Boost Software Radio Performance
FPGAs have profoundly shaped both the application space and performance levels of software defined radios—perhaps more so than any other single technology.
"FPGAs have clearly revolutionized embedded system board-level product design. FPGA vendors continue to compete by offering new features, better performance, higher density, and lower power."
