Multi-carrier modulation? Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi-
plexing (OFDM) particularly? has been successfully applied to
a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past
several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer
standard for a diversity of important systems? the theory? algorithms?
and implementation techniques remain subjects of current interest.
This is clear from the high volume of papers appearing in technical
journals and conferences.
Since the principle of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) was
simultaneously proposed by Khaled Fazel et al. and Nathan Yee et al. at the IEEE
International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications
(PIMRC) in the year 1993, multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) has rapidly become
one of the most wide spread independent research topics on the field of mobile radio
communications. Therefore, the International Workshop on Multi-Carrier Spread
Spectrum (MC-SS) was initiated in the year 1997. Multi-carrier and spread spectrum
systems with their generic air interface and adaptive technologies are considered as
potential candidates to fulfill the requirements of next generation mobile communications
systems.
Notwithstanding its infancy, wireless mesh networking (WMN) is a hot and
growing field. Wireless mesh networks began in the military, but have since
become of great interest for commercial use in the last decade, both in local
area networks and metropolitan area networks. The attractiveness of mesh
networks comes from their ability to interconnect either mobile or fixed
devices with radio interfaces, to share information dynamically, or simply to
extend range through multi-hopping.

并行總線PATA從設計至今已快20年歷史，如今它的缺陷已經嚴重阻礙了系統性能的進一步提高，已被串行ATA(Serial ATA)即SATA總線所取代。SATA作為新一代磁盤接口總線，采用點對點方式進行數據傳輸，內置數據/命令校驗單元，支持熱插拔，具有150MB/s(SATA1.0)或300MB/s(SATA2.0)的傳輸速度。目前SATA已在存儲領域廣泛應用，但國內尚無獨立研發的面向FPGA的SATAIP CORE，在這樣的條件下設計面向FPGA應用的SATA IP CORE具有重要的意義。 本論文對協議進行了詳細的分析，建立了SATA IP CORE的層次結構，將設備端SATA IP CORE劃分成應用層、傳輸層、鏈路層和物理層；介紹了實現該IPCORE所選擇的開發工具、開發語言和所選用的芯片；在此基礎上著重闡述協議IP CORE的設計，并對各個部分的設計予以分別闡述，并編碼實現；最后進行綜合和測試。 采用FPGA集成硬核RocketIo MGT(RocketIo Multi-Gigabit Transceiver)實現了1.5Gbps的串行傳輸鏈路；設計滿足協議需求、適合FPGA設計的并行結構，實現了多狀態機的協同工作：在高速設計中，使用了流水線方法進行并行設計，以提高速度，考慮到系統不同部分復雜度的不同，設計采用部分流水線結構；采用在線邏輯分析儀Chipscope pro與SATA總線分析儀進行片上調試與測試，使得調試工作方便快捷、測試數據準確；嚴格按照SATA1.0a協議實現了SATA設備端IP CORE的設計。 最終測試數據表明，本論文設計的基于FPGA的SATA IP CORE滿足協議需求。設計中的SATA IP CORE具有使用方便、集成度高、成本低等優點，在固態電子硬盤SSD(Solid-State Disk)開發中應用本設計，將使開發變得方便快捷，更能夠適應市場需求。
